How It Feels

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

A darkly hypnotic meditation on artistic ambition and its costs, blurring the line between the fictional vampire of cinema and a vampire made flesh. It's as much a study of a director's desperate gamble as it is a horror film.
