How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A low-budget creature feature that builds mounting dread as ordinary friends stumble into a nightmare realm where ancient evil bleeds into reality. The scrappy practical effects and documentary-like sincerity make the occult horror feel genuinely unsettling rather than campy.
