How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A raucous buddy-cop film that treats its zombie premise as a springboard for slapstick action and wisecracks rather than scares. Mortis and his partner race the clock with irreverent charm and practical-effects mayhem.
