How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A nightmarish descent into psychological terror told through jagged, distorted imagery and the fragile testimony of an unreliable witness. Every shadow and angle feels hostile, pulling you deeper into a world where sanity itself is a question.
