The activities of rampaging, indiscriminate serial killer Ben are recorded by a willingly complicit documentary team, who eventually become his accomplices and active participants. Ben provides casual commentary on the nature of his work and arbitrary musings on topics of interest to him, such as music or the conditions of low-income housing, and even goes so far as to introduce the documentary crew to his family. But their reckless indulgences soon get the better of them.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A found-footage mockumentary that begins as dark comedy but gradually descends into visceral horror as a film crew documenting a serial killer becomes morally compromised and then actively complicit. It's a caustic, formally inventive indictment of spectacle, detachment, and the corrosive power of complicity.
