How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A suffocating psychological thriller trapped on a ship with a sadistic captain whose authority is absolute and whose grip on sanity is slipping. The film builds unbearable tension from inescapable captivity and the moral corruption spreading through everyone aboard.
