How It Feels

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

A claustrophobic whodunit trapped aboard a floating deathrap, where paranoia and suspicion mount as the clock ticks toward catastrophe. The film wrings dread from historical certainty, we know how this ends, and we're watching the pieces fall into place.
