How It Feels

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

A deliberately strange and kaleidoscopic haunted-house film that treats supernatural terror as absurdist spectacle, campy, sentimental, and visually experimental in equal measure. It's a fever dream of a movie that operates by its own surreal logic rather than conventional horror rules.
