How It Feels

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

A gorgeously composed fever dream that braids teenage alienation with graphic body horror, anchored by a young outsider whose strange gifts become both her isolation and her salvation. Dario Argento's operatic take on the giallo killer film is equal parts eerie and absurd.
