How It Feels

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

A lean slasher built on the genuinely disturbing premise of emotionless children as predators, where the gap between their wholesome exteriors and their murderous impulses creates constant dread. It's pulpy B-movie horror that commits fully to its nasty central concept.
