How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A visceral descent into 1970s urban paranoia where a serial killer's reign of terror fractures a community already simmering with ethnic tension, intolerance, and mob mentality. Spike Lee uses the Son of Sam murders as a prism through which to examine how fear corrodes social bonds and turns neighbors into suspects.
