How It Feels

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

A noir-tinged thriller that wears its sci-fi premise in service of exploring the impossible psychology of replacing what's been lost. It builds dread through philosophical questions about consciousness and authenticity rather than jump scares.
