How It Feels

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

A post-war atomic-age thriller where the invisible threat of radioactive contamination bleeds into a pulpy crime narrative, blending Cold War anxieties with noir police procedural. It's simultaneously campy creature-feature and genuinely eerie meditation on the dangers of unchecked scientific experiments.
