How It Feels

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

A deliberate descent into nightmare as soldiers realize they're outmatched, hunted, and utterly lost in hostile territory. The swamp itself becomes a character, claustrophobic, indifferent, and lethal.
