How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A descent into Norman Bates' fractured psyche told through radio confessions, exploring the twisted maternal bond that broke him. Tension comes less from scares than from the claustrophobic intimacy of hearing a serial killer rationalize his deepest wounds.
