How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A deliberate, atmospheric creature feature where a cursed mummy methodically hunts down those who violated an ancient tomb, driven by supernatural vengeance and a tragic obsession with a woman who resembles a lost princess. The film wraps pulp horror in genuine melancholy, Kharis is as much victim as killer.
