How It Feels

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

A cruel deconstruction of the Snow White myth that trades whimsy for genuine horror, painting a medieval world of paranoia, decay, and the twisted bond between a stepmother and stepdaughter. It's less fairy tale and more nightmare wrapped in velvet and shadow.
