How It Feels

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

A slow-mounting horror about children who look innocent but harbor something fundamentally alien and wrong, trapping their parents in a nightmare of escalating dread. It's a film that makes domesticity itself feel like a trap.
