How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A nerve-shredding psychological thriller where intimate confinement becomes a weapon: a captive writer must appease his captor's warped fantasy while fighting for his life. Masterfully ratchets tension through helplessness and the slow erosion of sanity.
