How It Feels

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

A nasty, paranoia-fueled creature feature that weaponizes the notion of a safe haven, the rehabilitation center itself becomes a prison where trust is lethal. Visceral werewolf attacks punctuate the mounting dread of not knowing who (or what) you're dealing with.
