How It Feels

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

A psychological horror film that transforms intimate salon spaces into sites of growing menace as a disturbed stylist's grip on reality deteriorates. It's a slow, claustrophobic descent into violence that feels alarmingly personal.
