How It Feels

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

A tense atmospheric horror film where colonial privilege collides with the supernatural, anchored by escalating dread rather than jump scares. The careful buildup and emphasis on cultural practice creates a slow, suffocating sense of menace.
