How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A delightfully deranged comedy-horror romp where a surveyor stumbles into a twisted hillbilly clan's schemes for hidden fortune, all wrapped in poisonings, eccentric violence, and the kind of chaos that feels both darkly funny and genuinely menacing.
