How It Feels

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

A claustrophobic psychological thriller where three men trapped in the frozen Yukon must guard a murderer in their midst for months, with suspicion and brutality slowly eroding their humanity. The vastness of the landscape becomes inescapable as relationships fray and the line between captor and captive blurs.
