How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A darkly contemplative horror piece that weaves together two stories of loss and forbidden knowledge. It's more interested in the psychological weight of grief and desperate longing than in jump scares.
