How It Feels

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

A meticulously wound psychological thriller that traps you in the unreliable perspective of a lonely man whose voyeuristic fascination spirals into something far more sinister and uncertain. The film's real horror is never quite knowing who to trust or what Robert's own mind might be doing to him.
