How It Feels

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

A psychological horror film that blurs the line between supernatural terror and psychological deterioration, trapping you in the unreliable perspective of a woman trying to prove what she's seen. The film methodically dismantles your trust in what's real, using a haunted mirror as both artifact and metaphor for how trauma distorts memory.
