How It Feels

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

A tightly wound thriller about a scientist pulled into a web of alien contact and institutional cover-up, where each discovery deepens the paranoia. It's Hitchcock-meets-sci-fi: propulsive, twisted, and increasingly untrustworthy.
