How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A grim, brutally straightforward revenge tale with an undercurrent of tragedy, a disfigured man's relentless violence toward those he holds responsible plays out with little moral complexity or restraint. The film operates in moral darkness, viewing its killer not as a monster to fear but as a damaged person acting on bitterness, creating an uncomfortable complicity in the viewer.
