How It Feels

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

A cheaply made creature feature that plays on deep anxieties about aging and female ambition, where vanity literally becomes monstrous. It's campy and crude but genuinely unsettling in its contempt for the woman at its center.
