How It Feels

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

A visceral, deeply uncomfortable six minutes that transforms a mundane bathroom ritual into a horrifying descent. Framed as anti-war commentary wrapped in body horror, it's confrontational viewing designed to unsettle.
