How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A haunting folk horror fable about loneliness and the price of desperation, steeped in Arctic landscape and shamanic mysticism. Watching it feels like encountering a dark legend passed down through frozen generations.
