How It Feels

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

A claustrophobic psychological thriller that weaponizes family dysfunction and religious dread into something genuinely disturbing. The ambiguity of who's guilty, and whether a child is even capable, lingers long after the final frame.
