How It Feels

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

A low-budget horror film that trades jump scares for simmering dread as three independent women face a curse, and a town's deep-seated misogyny. The supernatural vengeance is less about scares and more about settling scores against the patriarchy.
