How It Feels

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

A serial killer grants a documentary crew behind-the-scenes access to his carefully choreographed slasher plans, treating his crimes as a meticulously crafted performance. It's a clever, gleefully twisted deconstruction of horror conventions that finds genuine comedy in the gap between slasher mythology and the mundane reality of achieving it.
