How It Feels

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

A claustrophobic true-story thriller about the final outbreak of smallpox in Yugoslavia, where the horror emerges not from jump scares but from the inexorable spread of disease and the hospital walls closing in around those trapped inside.
