How It Feels

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

A slow-burn paranoia thriller set against the eerie insularity of rural cult country. Dread accumulates as a widow watches menace creep closer, but the film keeps you guessing what's supernatural threat and what's the deadly suspicion of a tight-knit religious community.
