How It Feels

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

A grimy, hypnotic descent into a magician's twisted world where the line between performance and genuine horror collapses. It's less concerned with scaring you than with slowly unsettling you through its commitment to the grotesque.
