How It Feels

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

An ambitious journalist's investigation into a psychiatric hospital murder becomes a descent into psychological disorientation as the line between his assumed madness and his actual sanity blurs. A visceral, disorienting thriller that uses the asylum as both setting and mirror for the unreliability of perception itself.
