How It Feels

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

A deeply unsettling 80s sci-fi horror that uses alien horror as a lens for family trauma and body transgression. The film burrows under your skin with practical grotesquerie and a sense that something is fundamentally wrong in the domestic sphere.
