How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A relentless descent into paranoia as the familiar world becomes unknowable, with every trusted face a potential threat. It's a slow-burn horror where the horror isn't jump-scares but the creeping realization that resistance may be futile.
