A brilliant but deranged neurosurgeon becomes obsessively fixated on a judge's daughter. With the help of an escaped criminal whose face he has surgically deformed, the mad man lures her, her father, and her fiancé to his isolated castle-like home, where he has created a torture chamber with the intent of torturing them for having 'tortured' him.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A Gothic fever dream of surgical horror and warped passion, where a mad doctor's twisted devotion becomes a house of nightmarish torment. It's a showcase of theatrical villainy played at an almost unbearable pitch.
