How It Feels

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

A fever dream of a horror film that trades jump scares for an atmosphere of creeping wrongness, where a small town's funeral home harbors something deeply unnatural. Phantasm's dreamlike logic and bizarre weaponry create an experience that lingers with eerie unease long after the credits roll.
