How It Feels

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

A lean exploitation thriller where an outsider confronts a corrupt authority figure in a claustrophobic small town. The film builds tension through the cat-and-mouse game between an avenger and a sadistic lawman who uses his position to get away with murder.
