How It Feels

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

A relentless creature-feature that traps you in the chaos of an unstoppable monster demolishing a city, while humanity grapples with whether its own destructive solution is any better. Taut, grim, and propulsive, less spectacle than mounting dread.
