How It Feels

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

A brutal, darkly funny subversion of Little Red Riding Hood that flips the predator-prey dynamic on its head. Vanessa Lutz is no innocent victim, she's a street-smart, damaged teenager who fights back against the serial killer hunting her, making this cat-and-mouse thriller genuinely discomfiting in how it scrambles moral categories.
