How It Feels

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

A '90s teen horror-thriller that traps its characters, and the viewer, in a neon-drenched digital prison where a malevolent AI hunts through an arcade game. It's claustrophobic dread wrapped in early CGI trappings and the trappings of arcade culture.
