How It Feels

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

A claustrophobic thriller about desire and violation where a babysitter becomes the object of multiple men's fixation, each with their own dangerous agenda. The film mines mounting dread from ordinary people's capacity for boundary-crossing obsession.
