How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A brittle, unsettling vision of civilisation collapsing after cosmic catastrophe, where the real horror isn't the carnivorous plants, it's the helplessness and isolation they force upon the sighted few. It moves with deliberate dread, treating ecological nightmare as tragedy rather than spectacle.
