How It Feels

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

A darkly operatic Hong Kong horror-drama where suicidal despair meets supernatural mayhem in a decaying apartment building. It's a collision of personal tragedy and occult chaos, steeped in traditional Chinese horror imagery and tinged with grim humour.
