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 traps you in the minds of both hunter and hunted, exploring the twisted psychology of imitation and the personal cost of confronting serial violence. The tension builds from intellectual cat-and-mouse games into something far more intimate and inescapable.

Copycat has a fun premise and is a fun film but there is not really much else to it.

Its a great crime thriller in suspense but not character nor its opinion on serial killers. Weaver and hunter are great tho.
