How it feels

This Japanese horror anthology presents three separate stories. In one, a girl experiences strange events after her father brings home a new partner. Another follows a documentary crew member who arrives at an abandoned house for a shoot but finds the cameraman missing. The third involves a teacher visiting a student with a broken leg and discovering the family's unsettling secret.
