How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A deliciously macabre Gothic mystery where a pianist's severed hand becomes the source of mounting terror in a decaying estate. It's a film that plays the absurdity of its central image straight, building atmosphere and dread from pure visual strangeness.
