How It Feels

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

A grimly efficient slasher that uses the isolation of the woods and the menace of a predatory hermit to generate sustained dread. It's a lean, no-frills entry in early-80s horror that trades sophistication for raw unease.
