How It Feels

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

A woman trapped in a remote Irish forest bunker with strangers discovers that the real horror lies not just outside, but in the rules that govern their survival and what might be watching from the dark. Claustrophobic and eerie, the film tightens its grip as reality itself becomes unreliable.

I thought it was over probably four times, but it kept going. Sometimes there is too much going on, and other times long stretches of nothing going on.

Maybe it would have worked better as a show to really spend time in the Coop and build some attachment to the characters, and then the bunker discovery could have been exciting, like when you're watching Lost.
