How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A dark medieval tale where internal tensions and superstitious dread feed off each other as a ghostly curse closes in on isolated women struggling against both circumstance and each other. The horror emerges from claustrophobia, fractured relationships, and the inescapable weight of the past.
