How It Feels

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

A lurid mid-century mad-doctor thriller where vanity and the terror of aging drive a surgeon to gruesome crimes. It's pulpy and theatrical, with genuine menace lurking beneath the period excess.
