How It Feels

A relentless supernatural predator stalks a small desert town in an utterly bizarre premise, a malevolent car that hunts without mercy or explanation. The film treats this absurd concept with dead-serious conviction, creating an eerie sense of helplessness against an unstoppable, unknowable force.
