How It Feels

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

A brutal, transgressive survival tale that pairs exploitation-horror shock value with darkly comedic tension as captive women fight back against a twisted family dynamic. It's simultaneously cruel and absurdist, a film that makes provocation itself part of the viewing experience.
