How It Feels

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

A relentless slasher that trades plot coherence for sustained dread and inventive kills, following a traumatized teen as masked murder returns to haunt him. It's grueling and pulpy, designed to keep you on edge rather than invested in mystery or character.
