Overview

A young woman is questioned by the police and the judges, suspected of being a modern witch. The girl who shared her apartment has been found dead, and a pair of scissors impaled through her heart, as she lay attached to the bedposts. Apparently, the girl does have powers, to make all people around her fall prey to her spell, glissing progressively into desire, lust, and the unknown.

How It Feels

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

A hypnotic and troubling interrogation of guilt, desire, and the power of suspicion that draws you into the unreliable mystery of a woman accused of witchcraft and murder. The film lingers in discomfort, blurring the line between psychological manipulation and genuine menace.
