How It Feels

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

A short horror film that weaves generational trauma and family obligation into a folk-horror ritual, rooted in the historical violence of the Jim Crow South. It's a taut, unsettling tale about what we inherit and what we feel compelled to pass down.
