How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A deliriously trashy '80s creature feature that blends cult paranoia with high school rebellion, where an alien brain bent on world domination faces off against a brilliant teenage prankster. It's aggressively weird and lo-fi in the best way, practical gore effects, plot threads that barely cohere, and a genuine sense that anything outlandish might happen next.
