How It Feels

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

A methodical neo-noir thriller that builds dread through psychological menace rather than spectacle, following a cop's hunt for a killer whose weapon is the telephone and whose rage is directed at women's autonomy. The film explores the cat-and-mouse game with an unsettling focus on the killer's ideological motivation.
