How It Feels

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

A deliriously absurd fantasy where an aging Elvis and JFK must face down an Egyptian curse in a nursing home, blending genuine pathos about obsolescence with deadpan humor and B-movie thrills. It's a film that takes its ridiculous premise with complete sincerity, finding both comedy and quiet tragedy in its characters' fading relevance.
