How It Feels

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

A carefully constructed sci-fi thriller where scientific ambition becomes a trap door into something far darker and unknowable. It's a film about the seduction of progress and the cost of playing in games you don't understand.
