How It Feels

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

A slow-burn supernatural thriller that uses religious institutions and the nature of belief itself as vehicles for genuine unease. It's more interested in spiritual doubt than jump scares, though it has those too.
