How It Feels

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

A meticulously crafted disaster film that builds unbearable tension as a massive tsunami barrels toward a narrow fjord and the people trapped within it. It's less about spectacle than the suffocating pressure of knowing exactly what's coming and having no way to stop it.
