How It Feels

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

A deliberately uncomfortable slasher that interrogates the cruelty of adolescence and the weight of unresolved trauma. The film builds dread through social humiliation as much as violence, culminating in a shocking revelation that recontextualizes everything you've watched.
