How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A paranoid thriller about a woman trapped between a murderous doctor's abuse of psychiatric authority and her husband's unwillingness to believe her. The tension comes from watching a killer weaponize his professional credibility against a witness nobody will defend.
