Since the 1960s, a disproportionate number of the population in and around Nome, Alaska, have gone missing. Despite FBI investigations, the disappearances remain a mystery. Dr. Abigail Tyler, a psychologist, may be on the verge of blowing the unsolved cases wide open when, during the course of treating her patients, she finds evidence of alien abductions.

How It Feels

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

A found-footage-adjacent thriller that masks itself as true crime to unsettle you with the possibility of widespread alien abductions hidden beneath bureaucratic silence. It's deliberately disquieting, less interested in confirming alien contact than in making you question what your mind can trust.
