How It Feels

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

A lurid descent into mad science and primal horror: a desperate father's attempt to save his son spirals into visceral body-horror and transgressive violence. This is exploitation cinema at its most audacious and disturbing.

A heck of a lot more graphic than I was expecting. Gore and nudity both. Some fairly violent attacks from the ape man too. All around a bit of a surprise.
Not a good film, but fun “drive-in” fare.
