Overview

Confined to a mental hospital, young Kirsty Cotton insists her supposedly dead father is stuck in hell, controlled by sadomasochistic demons after being betrayed by his evil, occult-obsessed wife, Julia. Few believe Kirsty, except the thrill-seeking Dr. Channard, who is intrigued by the young woman's lurid stories. So when Kirsty and fellow patient Tiffany head to hell for a rescue, Channard and Julia are close behind.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A descent into an increasingly nightmarish hell dimension where pleasure and pain collapse into each other, driven by obsessive desire and the perverse hunger of those who would exploit it. Darkly baroque, visceral, and sexually transgressive in ways that unsettle as much as they enthrall.
