How It Feels

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

A deeply unsettling exploration of isolation and warped affection that blends exploitation cinema shock value with a grimly tragic arc. What begins as provocation descends into something genuinely bleak about loneliness and the violence of imposing love.
