How It Feels

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

A slow-burn horror film that uses domestic dread and murky decay to explore a mother's struggle during divorce, where the apartment itself becomes a character reflecting her psychological unraveling. The horror emerges not from jump scares but from the creeping realization that something profoundly wrong is seeping into both home and sanity.
