How It Feels

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

A suffocating descent into mass hysteria and personal vengeance set against the Salem witch trials, where paranoia and malice destroy innocent lives. Miller's play adapts with mounting dread as the machinery of false accusation grinds toward tragedy.
