How It Feels

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

A goofy, slapstick-heavy comedy romp where an overeager buffoon stumbles into the role of unlikely hero fighting a creepy troll demon. It's kid-friendly Halloween fun that leans more into laughs than genuine scares.
