How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A wickedly entertaining theatrical romp where a scheming playwright's clever murder plot unravels in delightfully absurd ways. It's a comedy-thriller that treats murder as an elaborate game and dares you to guess who's outsmarting whom.
