How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A giallo-inflected slasher where a composer's isolation in a remote villa becomes dangerously real as a killer emerges from the shadows. It's a film that plays with the artificial and the terrifying, building dread through atmosphere and meticulously choreographed violence.
