How It Feels

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

A creature-feature that doesn't take itself seriously, blending gory crocodile attacks with campy humor and eccentric characters in a remote Maine lake setting. It's B-movie mayhem that leans into its own ridiculousness.
