The last of Roger Corman’s Poe adaptations…
An interesting film. Sort of gets chaotic at the end. Maybe too chaotic, but still interesting.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A Gothic descent into psychological unease where the past refuses to stay buried, and the line between the living and the dead grows dangerously thin. Claustrophobic and haunting, it trades jump scares for a creeping sense of wrongness that settles into your bones.
