How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A elegantly crafted nightmare that uses urban legend as a prism for examining race, trauma, and class violence in America. It's unsettling and intellectually sharp in equal measure, with the horror emerging not just from gore but from the systems and beliefs that sustain it.
