This one surprised me. The title is HORRIBLE, and really leads one to think this is going to be just another crappy alien invasion flick.
What it is, is surprisingly suspenseful and takes an angle or two that I had not seen before.
Well worth checking out!

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A claustrophobic siege thriller that trades typical alien invasion spectacle for the paranoia and desperation of ordinary people trapped inside a supermarket with an unknown threat. The tension comes not from what you see, but from not knowing who or what you can trust.
