How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A glacial descent into psychological terror as isolation and supernatural forces corrode a man's sanity within the maze-like corridors of a haunted hotel. Kubrick's meticulous formalism transforms domestic horror into something mythic and disturbing.
