How It Feels

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

A gloriously unhinged sword-and-sorcery romp that swings wildly between pulpy action thrills and genuinely unsettling darkness. It's a film that seems to be having enormous fun even when its heroes are facing torture chambers and resurrection spells.
