How It Feels

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

A pressure-cooker hostage nightmare where a sadistic mobster and his gang trap a handful of people in a hotel while a hurricane bears down outside, a film that traps you alongside its characters, grinding tension from confinement and the moral rot of unchecked brutality.
