Michael is a young boy living in a typical 1950s suburbanite home... except for his bizarre and horrific nightmares, and continued unease around his parents.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A deeply unnerving dark comedy that uses 1950s suburban normalcy as a backdrop for creeping dread, blending genuine horror with pitch-black humor as a child grapples with the sickening reality of his parents.
