How It Feels

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

A chillingly effective mimicry of live television that erodes your sense of safety through accumulated small disturbances and a mounting sense that something has gone catastrophically wrong. The conceit that this is a real broadcast makes every malfunction and unexplained occurrence hit harder.
