How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A suffocating supernatural ordeal where a priest's faith is tested against mounting cosmic dread in a single church room. Viy builds an unbearable tension through folk horror aesthetics and the relentless violation of sacred space.
