How It Feels

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

A pulpy procedural where a dogged reporter chases an impossible killer through Seattle's shadows, balancing tabloid thrills with genuine creeping dread. It's less about scares than the mounting frustration of pursuing a supernatural pattern that logic can't quite crack.
