How It Feels

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

A surreal fever dream where a man's deranged ambition to become a great serial killer spirals into increasingly preposterous, darkly comic mishaps. The film gleefully upends our expectations about consequence and reality itself.
