How It Feels

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

A fragmented, deliberately disorienting reconstruction of the ordinary lives of those who lived near a notorious serial killer, blurring archive and dramatization to convey the creeping horror of evil concealed in plain sight.
