How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A claustrophobic psychological thriller where suspicion and circumstantial evidence build into a suffocating atmosphere of paranoia. The ambiguity of the lodger's guilt keeps you watching every shadow in this noir-inflected Victorian nightmare.
