How It Feels

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

A nauseating descent into a killer's twisted reality that deliberately disorients the audience, blurring the line between what's real and what's nightmare. By the film's end, the ground beneath you, and the film itself, feels fundamentally unstable.
