How It Feels

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

A grimy, propulsive hunt through 1980s Manhattan's seedy underbelly, where two flawed men race to stop a serial killer stalking exotic dancers. The film trades narrative nuance for raw atmosphere, neon-lit streets, predatory tension, and the grit of exploitation turned into exploitation cinema.
