How It Feels

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

A lean, claustrophobic thriller that traps a woman in her own home with a menacing intruder while a bank heist unfolds elsewhere. The film's economy of runtime and location creates mounting dread as personal secrets become leverage.

Really intense and edge of your seat, until the last 5 minutes, maybe appropriately. 
Cash is a real piece of work in this. Down right scary, which feels odd. Can’t imagine this film helped record sales. LOL
