How It Feels

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

A claustrophobic siege film that traps you inside a deteriorating police station as a relentless gang hunts the few remaining cops with methodical brutality. It's a taut, economical exercise in survival horror that builds dread through repetition and isolation rather than spectacle.
