How It Feels

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

A widow's fragile equilibrium after her husband's death is upended by an uncanny arrival that blurs the line between supernatural terror and psychological unraveling. Equal parts unsettling and ridiculous, it keeps you off-balance about what's really happening.

There was quite a lot of hype behind this film, and understandably so, because of its concept, studio backing (Blumhouse), director, Jaume Collet-Serra, who directed such films like Orphan, House of Wax,/I> and The Shallows.Unfortunately, it felt more like a January release (much like Night Swim and Imaginary received, if that makes sense and you know what that means).
Final thoughts:
Get off my lawn!
