How It Feels

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

A methodical, ice-cold paranoia about invasion and bodily autonomy that builds its horror through implication rather than spectacle. The uncanny children and their telepathic bond create an atmosphere of helpless dread that lingers long after the credits roll.
