How It Feels

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

A scrappy 1950s creature feature that taps into Cold War anxieties about mind control and betrayal, with a Venusian monster and a scientist gone rogue. It's campy and earnest at once, low-budget thrills with a genuine sense of dread underneath.
