How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A wildly unhinged family musical where a mounting pile of corpses in the backyard becomes darkly funny rather than horrifying. It's tonally chaos in the best way, grief, slapstick, elaborate musical numbers, and genuine horror constantly crash into each other.
