How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A gleefully macabre romp through a haunted wax museum where teenagers get sucked into the displays and must confront nightmare scenarios with the logic of a darkly comedic fever dream. It's horror as a series of bizarre, escalating set pieces played with a wink and a laugh.
