How It Feels

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

A creeping slasher that traps its young protagonists in a decaying seaside house where the threat lurks in the shadows of family secrets. Claustrophobic and paranoid, it builds dread through what's hidden rather than what's shown.
