How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A claustrophobic siege film where escaped mental patients hunt down their psychiatrist's home during a blackout, sustained by steady dread and the constant threat of violence. It's deliberately paced terror with a slasher's brutal logic.
