Anxiety, I think it's the right way to describe this film that throws the viewer in a continuous state of anxiety that grips him for the entire duration of the film, but besides anxiety there is also a big factor of almost unrealistic bad luck which takes aim at the protagonists who experience a lot of terrible bad luck that throws them into terrible situations to make their survival more and more difficult and in addition to bad luck the film is also dotted with wrong and forced choices that only serve to move the viewer especially in a particular scene where sad stuff happens without the slightest reason just to move the spectator.
