Whiteout

Audience emotional responses are primarily driven by the film's core as a crime mystery thriller set in a hostile environment. High levels of **Anxiety** and **Anticipation** are generated by the isolated Antarctic setting, the escalating danger of the investigation, and the protagonist's struggle with trust. **Curiosity** is central to following the whodunit plot, while **Fear** and **Disturbing** elements arise from the murders and the deadly weather. **Surprise** accompanies plot twists and the killer's reveal. **Excitement** is present during action sequences. The protagonist's personal demons also evoke **Empathy**, **Sadness**, and **Guilt**. Given the moderate IMDb rating, some **Confusion** may also be present, leading to a moderate level of **Satisfaction** upon resolution.
