How It Feels

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

A horror-comedy about a deranged killer returning to his hometown with surgical instruments and a twisted mission, playing gallows humor against genuine menace. It's campy enough to laugh at but committed enough in its weirdness to maintain an edge.
