How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A creeping supernatural horror that turns a small hometown into a slowly suffocating trap, building dread through accumulation of darkness rather than shock. It captures the peculiar terror of evil taking root in the familiar and intimate.
