How It Feels

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

A suffocating descent into spiritual and psychological terror as a Puritan family frays under the weight of accusations, paranoia, and an evil that may be supernatural, or may be the darkness within themselves. Slow-building dread that tightens relentlessly toward something utterly inhuman.
