How It Feels

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

A visceral nightmare rendered in grainy Super 8, where spiders and demons crawl through the fractured psyche of a tormented young man. It's brief, nightmarish, and deeply unsettling in the way only something genuinely unhinged can be.
