How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A deliberately paced psychological thriller where a kidnapping becomes as much about the fractured marriage at its center as it does the danger in the forest. The film's slow unraveling of Wayne and Maureen's relationship runs parallel to the escalating threat, creating a deeply uncomfortable dual reckoning.
