How It Feels

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

A chaotic, darkly comic riff on Y2K paranoia and millennial teen culture where a night of party-crashing becomes a surreal survival situation. It's silly and gruesome in equal measure, anchored by genuine affection for its teenage protagonists.

I have never been the target demographic of a movie more than I am for Y2K. I was in high school in 1999, and I love pop culture, Kyle Mooney, and horror comedies.

Y2K is as full of 90s references as you'd expect from a movie called Y2K, especially one co-written and directed by Kyle Mooney. All my favorite SNL sketches of his have strong 90s undertones. The soundtrack is perfect. I can't wait to watch it again and buy it on bluray and have it forever.
