How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A stylish period mystery that weaves superstition and rationality as two detectives unravel deaths that defy explanation in a Shanghai factory haunted by a lethal curse. The film builds paranoia through atmosphere and clever plotting rather than relying solely on action.
