How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A deliciously campy haunted house thriller that treats its scares with gleeful showmanship and doesn't take itself too seriously. The black-and-white cinematography and period atmosphere elevate what could be a gimmicky premise into genuinely eerie entertainment.
