How It Feels

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

A child exploitation film masquerading as dark comedy where a bullied boy discovers a pit of carnivorous creatures and decides to settle scores. It's deeply uncomfortable viewing that oscillates between absurdist humor and genuine menace.
