How It Feels

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

A deadpan comedy built on the absurdist premise of a secret military unit wielding psychic powers, following a skeptical reporter's encounter with a former paranormal soldier in Iraq. It's a tongue-in-cheek exploration of conspiracy, delusion, and the American appetite for the inexplicable.
