How It Feels

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

A disturbingly intimate chamber piece where scientific brilliance masks psychological unraveling, revealed in fragments that recontextualize everything you've witnessed. Masterful tension emerges not from jump scares but from the sickening recognition of what the obsessed mind is capable of.
