How It Feels

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

A survival thriller where crashed adventurers become trapped with a dangerously unhinged hermit in the wilderness, as greed and desperation escalate into life-or-death stakes. The film balances action beats with mounting dread as civilized people face both nature and a man who has abandoned civilization altogether.
