How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A sprawling psychological descent into madness and malice within the snow-locked walls of a hotel that seems to have a will of its own. The extended runtime lets the dread build slowly and inescapably, trapping you alongside a family unraveling under the weight of confinement, addiction, and something far darker.
