How It Feels

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

A pulpy sci-fi adventure that pivots from mystery to nightmare: explorers realize too late that their brilliant host is dangerously unhinged, and find themselves helpless and diminished in a hostile world of ordinary objects turned monstrous. The jungle itself becomes a bewildering, terrifying maze.
