How It Feels

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

A B-movie descent into body horror and mad-scientist transgression, where the nightmare is watching a god-complex scientist's grotesque creations deteriorate into chaos. It's pulpy and unhinged rather than elegantly frightening.
