How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A pre-code horror film where a mad scientist's godlike delusions manifest in grotesque body horror and sexual menace on an isolated island. It's a film that doesn't look away from its own perversity.
