How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A gentle haunted house romp where the scares are mostly slapstick and the real terror is social embarrassment. Don Knotts stumbles through the dark with endearing vulnerability, and the film's heart lies in watching an underdog prove his worth to his town.
