How It Feels

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

A deeply disquieting exploration of a Vietnam vet's inexplicable return, where the horror stems from the alienation and wrongness that permeates his homecoming. What begins as a family reunion descends into nightmare as the boundaries between the living and the dead begin to blur.
