How It Feels

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

A relentless descent into chaos as a small town becomes a biological prison and the military response proves as deadly as the plague itself. The film's cold, documentary-like precision makes the breakdown of order feel inevitable and terrifying.
