How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A nightmarish descent into marital dissolution and psychological horror, where suburban desperation and jealousy give way to something genuinely inhuman. Possession is visceral, difficult, and refuses to clarify what's real versus what's a manifestation of a marriage imploding.
