How It Feels

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

A campy, low-budget zombie romp that treats its apocalyptic scenario with theatrical glee rather than dread. It's deliberately ridiculous, pitting theatrical actors against shambling corpses with the tone of a darkly comic stage production gone horribly, entertainingly wrong.
