How It Feels

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

A deeply unsettling body-horror nightmare that uses family trauma and psychological terror as fuel for visceral, grotesque imagery. It's a film that burrows into your mind by literalizing inner rage as external monstrosity.
