How It Feels

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

A psychologically manipulative thriller that traps you in escalating dread as a teenage girl's infatuation morphs into something far more sinister. The film walks a knife's edge between sympathizing with teenage longing and revealing the true sociopathic danger lurking beneath.
