Nerdy Walter Paisley, a maladroit busboy at a beatnik café who doesn't fit in with the cool scene around him, attempts to woo his beautiful co-worker, Carla, by making a bust of her. When his klutziness results in the death of his landlady's cat, he panics and hides its body under a layer of plaster. But when Carla and her friends enthuse over the resulting artwork, Walter decides to create some bigger and more elaborate pieces using the same artistic process.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A pitch-black comedy about an outcast finding warped validation through art, this proto-slasher plays its horror for laughs while maintaining genuine menace. Roger Corman's 66-minute provocation moves with manic energy, mixing beatnik satire with mounting dread.
