How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A stylish psychological thriller that burrows into a fractured mind, weaving past trauma and present instability into a sinister narrative of buried violence. De Palma's baroque direction transforms domestic nightmare into high-stakes suspense, keeping you off-balance as reliable surfaces crack to reveal something rotten underneath.
