How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A energetic time-travel slasher that blends 80s nostalgia with meta horror comedy and genuine mother-daughter stakes. It's campy and fun but grounded enough to actually care about the characters caught in the killer's crosshairs.

Reviews
I love a fun teen slasher, and this gives me that with a Back to the Future twist. Kiernan Shipka and Olivia Holt are two of my favorite young actresses, and I always love seeing Randall Park.
I don't subscribe to Prime all year long, so it's annoying that this doesn't have a blu-ray release.
