How It Feels

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

A claustrophobic descent into a Midwestern family's dark secrets, where a vulnerable stranger becomes trapped, both by weather and circumstance, in a house harboring dangerous deceptions. The film builds dread through slow accumulation and psychological unease rather than graphic scares.
