How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A slow-burning nightmare of confinement where the true threat becomes the paranoia and superstition festering among the trapped. Lewton's mastery of atmospheric dread turns a plague quarantine into psychological horror.
