How It Feels

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

A grimy, deliberately amateurish descent into a town where horror film fandom has curdled into something genuinely sinister. The low-budget aesthetic amplifies the creeping unease rather than undercutting it.
