How It Feels

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

A deliriously entertaining blend of body horror and slapstick mayhem that treats reanimation as both scientific hubris and cosmic joke. It's a film that finds genuine terror and genuine laughs in the same grotesque moments.
