How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A tongue-in-cheek romp through a creaky mansion where scheming relatives underestimate the true heir, a collection of beloved cats. The film gleefully spoofs the gothic horror conventions it appears to inhabit.
