How It Feels

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

A supernatural horror film that uses the claustrophobia of WWI trench warfare to explore the psychological unraveling of soldiers under extreme duress. As paranoia and violence consume the unit, it becomes unclear whether their enemy is external evil or the war itself breaking their minds.
