How It Feels

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

A haunting tale of scientific ambition gone catastrophically wrong, told through the eyes of a woman who witnessed her husband's transformation into something no longer human. The film balances horror with genuine pathos as it explores the price of playing god.
