How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A Hitchcock thriller steeped in fog and menace, where a woman finds herself trapped among smugglers and murderers in a remote Cornish inn. It's a claustrophobic crime drama built on atmosphere and moral compromise, anchored by Laughton's commanding performance as a man corrupted by power and greed.
