How It Feels

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

A deliriously weird creature feature where toxic waste transforms a boy into a gibbering monster, blending small-town slasher urgency with the kind of low-budget absurdism that feels more warped than scary. It's the sort of film that gets weirder the more you watch it.
