How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A haunting silent film that uses architectural dread and psychological unease to explore one man's inability to accept loss. The House of Usher itself becomes as much a character as the people trapped within it, suffocating under the weight of sorrow and supernatural terror.
