I’ve tried to watch this at least 3 times before now and kept falling asleep. Started earlier and made it through. Should have fallen asleep.
It’s OK. Weird messages and the “hero” is a complete ass throughout the film.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A claustrophobic Cold War-era thriller where a submarine crew investigates mysterious Arctic disappearances and confronts an otherworldly threat in the frozen deep. Lean, propulsive '50s creature-feature atmosphere with genuine tension despite its modest scale.
