How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A deliriously weird folk horror romp that lurches between genuine dread and outrageous camp, treating its serpent cult mythology with deadpan sincerity while the narrative spirals into increasingly baroque territory.
