How It Feels

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

A schlocky slasher that trades the summer camp formula for a premise both silly and audacious, Jason loose on a boat and in Manhattan, delivering blood-soaked set pieces with tongue planted firmly in cheek. It's trashy fun that knows exactly what it is.
