How It Feels

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

A hallucinogenic descent into damnation where interconnected human sins manifest as grotesque, visceral punishment in hell itself. It's less a narrative than a fever dream of moral reckoning, intimate, horrifying, and utterly fixed on the wages of transgression.
