How It Feels

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

A descent into increasingly nightmarish depths both literal and thematic, where every discovery amplifies the despair of being trapped on a hostile world. The film doubles down on the original's dark vision, trading wonder for existential dread.
