How It Feels

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

A wisecracking, tongue-in-cheek blend of high school comedy and vampire action that gleefully upends expectations about who gets to be a hero. It's lightweight but spirited, playing its absurd premise entirely straight while winking at the audience.

My favorite Hilary Swank movie, and my favorite non-Hunger Games Donald Sutherland movie.

I accept that the tv show is infinitely more popular, but I don't agree with it. I still think about Paul Reubens' character's death scene in this semi-regularly. Regularly enough that it is worth mentioning.
