How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A grimy creature-feature that spirals from a simple deathbed request into visceral body-horror chaos. It's the kind of film that trades atmosphere for cheap scares and practical gore effects, moving fast and caring little for logic.
