How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A grimy, sinister fairy tale about a fractured woman playing house with stolen children, filtered through the grimy aesthetics and twisted humor of 1970s exploitation horror. It's unpleasant and deliberately so.
