How It Feels

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

A haunting exploration of how grief traps us in limbo, where a sister's inability to let go of her missing husband intersects with something sinister lurking beneath the surface. The film finds horror not in jump scares but in the suffocating weight of absence and the price of holding on.
