How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A claustrophobic descent into gothic horror where psychological torment and physical cruelty blur together. The film builds dread through shadow-drenched chambers and the creeping revelation of cruelty masquerading as love.
