How It Feels

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

A suffocating psychological thriller where passion and murder curdle into paranoia and self-destruction. The noose of consequence tightens relentlessly, turning lovers into captives of their own crime.
