CGiii Comment
Billed as a horror...and, a horror it is...but not in the scary sense of the word.
Watching a fucked-up, misandric, self-loathing woman with penis envy who likes to dress in ridiculous outfits...is - quite possibly - the most excruciating way to squander 80 minutes.
She's annoying...in the film, She's annoying to watch.
The writers probably thought they were offering a deep and meaningful critique on society...what they actually produced was an irritant...of substantial strength.
Vile, indulgent nonsense.

The(ir) Blurb...
Amy is hanging on by a thread. Struggling to cope with past sexual trauma and the daily aggressions of a what she perceives as a male-dominated society, she creates grotesquely costumed alter egos that re-appropriate the male form. While giving her the sense of power she craves, acting as these characters pushes her further into a world of her own making. When she begins a new relationship with a seemingly good guy, she opens herself up to him - but that vulnerability comes at a dangerous cost, and her alter egos threaten to lash out in explosive violence. Based on the real experiences and art of co-writer/star Amy Everson, Felt doesn't just point a finger at rape culture; it takes a full on swing at it, creating a feminist psychological thriller that audiences will be hard-pressed to shake off.
