How It Feels

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

A serial killer thriller built around the logic of chess: each murder a calculated move, each clue a trap. The film keeps you uncertain whether the grandmaster is brilliant strategist or marked man, making every revelation feel like a check rather than checkmate.
