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 abandonment and resentment told through the eyes of a child whose supernatural bond with a cursed tree becomes the instrument of his rage. This is a slow-burn psychological horror that uses the family dynamic itself as much as the supernatural threat to create mounting dread.
