How It Feels

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

A disorienting descent into madness as a man discovers his supernatural bond with sharks and uses them as instruments of vengeance. This is a strange, low-budget oddity that prioritizes atmosphere and weird conviction over conventional thrills.
