How It Feels

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

A haunting animated adaptation that weaves two tales of psychological and physical torment into a nightmarish descent through darkness. Poe's claustrophobic terror and Villiers de l'Isle-Adam's cruel philosophical irony create an experience of mounting dread that lingers long after its brief runtime.
