How It Feels

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

A grim early horror film about the irreversibility of state execution, where a wrongfully condemned man returns from the dead transformed into something inhuman. It's a meditation on justice as much as it is a creature feature, haunted and unsettling in equal measure.
