How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A slow-burn descent into psychological and supernatural terror set within the claustrophobic confines of a malevolent house. The film's power lies in its refusal to show you what you're afraid of, building dread through suggestion, sound design, and the mounting conviction that the house itself is conscious and hungry.
