How It Feels

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

A deeply creepy home invasion thriller where trust becomes a weapon and the figure meant to protect becomes the threat. The slow corruption of domestic space creates a suffocating atmosphere of violation and dread.
