How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A brutal origin story where childhood trauma metastasizes into violence, wrapped in the grotesque inversion of Christmas cheer. This is slasher horror that takes its psychological damage seriously.
