How It Feels

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

A psychological horror film that blurs the line between trauma and supernatural threat, asking whether the monsters we fear are real or creations of a damaged mind. It's a tense descent into childhood nightmares with the creeping uncertainty that keeps you guessing whether salvation lies in acceptance or escape.
