How It Feels

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

A slow-burn descent into weirdness in a sun-bleached coastal town where something is profoundly, quietly wrong. The horror creeps in through atmosphere and mounting wrongness rather than jump scares, leaving you perpetually off-balance.
