How It Feels

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

A campy creature-feature where a magical troll infiltrates a San Francisco apartment building with ambitions of world conquest. It's equal parts darkly absurd and genuinely creepy, with practical creature effects and B-movie charm.
