How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A Cold War-era thriller that treats its premise of weaponized dolphins with complete seriousness, building paranoia and dread as innocent scientific achievement becomes entangled in political conspiracy. The film's earnest commitment to its absurd premise makes it genuinely unsettling rather than campy.
