How It Feels

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

A tragic creature-feature that treats its werewolf as a doomed outsider struggling between wild nature and human connection, resulting in mounting dread rather than thrills. It's a melancholic portrait of monsterhood wrapped in exploitation-era horror atmosphere.
