How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A domestic nightmare that finds horror in the everyday rituals of family life: a charming stranger insinuates himself into a household, and the film tightens its grip as his fractured psyche threatens to explode. It's a study of how violence hides behind the mask of suburban normalcy.
