How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A slow-burning psychological thriller where charm conceals menace, a charismatic stranger insinuates himself into a vulnerable household, and the mounting dread comes from knowing danger is already inside. It's a masterclass in tension built through performance and proximity rather than spectacle.
