How It Feels

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

A gorgeously macabre gothic romance where supernatural horror and romantic entanglement intertwine, creating an atmosphere of genuine dread punctuated by moments of dark comedy and earnest emotion. Tim Burton's visual opulence transforms Washington Irving's folk tale into a fever dream of haunted forests and headless vengeance.
