How It Feels

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

A darkly imaginative children's fantasy where a boy must outsmart a gathering of witches after being transformed into a mouse. It's playful and inventive, but with a genuinely creepy edge that makes the stakes feel real.
