How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A slow-building sci-fi thriller that uses childhood alien contact as the emotional scar tissue driving a reunion haunted by mutilation and violence. The film trades in creeping dread rather than spectacle, letting paranoia build as buried memories resurface.
