Psychiatrist Sam Foster has a new patient, Henry Letham, who claims to be suicidal. In trying to diagnose him, Sam visits Henry's prior therapist and also finds Henry's mother -- even though Henry has said that he murdered both of his parents. As reality starts to contradict fact, Sam spirals into an unstable mental state. Then he finds a clue as to how and when Henry may try to kill himself, and races to try to stop him.

How It Feels

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

A dizzying psychological thriller that systematically unravels its protagonist's grip on reality, drawing you deeper into a fractured, dreamlike world where nothing can be trusted. It's less a plot to follow than a state of mind to experience.
