How It Feels

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

A rural horror-sci-fi hybrid where an alien contamination turns an ordinary farm and its inhabitants into a nightmare of body horror and moral decay. It's a grimy, unsettling descent into mutation and madness.
