How It Feels

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

A dark comedy that mines tension from the collision between a guilt-stricken small-town guy and an unhinged serial killer who thinks he's helping a friend. The film walks a tightrope between grimly funny and genuinely unsettling.
