How It Feels

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

A river trip into the American wilderness descends into nightmare, where urban men confront primal violence and are forced to reckon with what they're capable of. The film is as much about the horror of what happens to the body and psyche as it is about the physical danger.
