How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A deeply unsettling psychological thriller that follows a fractured man's descent into obsessive delusion, building toward violence with relentless dread. It's a taut, nasty portrait of mental unraveling that doesn't look away from its protagonist's capacity for harm.
