How It Feels

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

A disturbing portrait of a respected med student unraveling his predatory crimes, the film builds dread through the gap between his public charm and private cruelty. It's an uncomfortable true-crime account that trades shock value for insight into how monstrosity hides behind respectability.
