How It Feels

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

A man-versus-nature thriller that reframes the monster as a grieving avenger, creating uncomfortable moral complexity alongside visceral ocean horror. It's an operatic, almost tragic take on the creature-feature formula.
