How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A Victorian-era gothic nightmare where a physician confronts a disfigured sadist in a castle, forced to choose between medical ethics and saving his former lover from cruel threats. The film's gimmick, letting audiences vote on the villain's punishment, transforms viewing into unsettling complicity.
