How It Feels

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

A darkly operatic occult thriller where a grieving woman becomes the unwilling centerpiece of a sorcerer's scheme to cheat death. The film steeped in 1970s atmospheric dread, trading jump scares for the slow-building horror of entrapment and mystical manipulation.
