How It Feels

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

A sinister game of psychological cat-and-mouse where a manipulative murderer pursues a traumatized child who holds the key to her conviction. The mounting tension comes not from action, but from the slow-motion horror of watching an evil woman circle her innocent victim while a man rots in prison.
