How It Feels

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

A gleeful creature-feature where giant reptilian parents rampage through Tokyo in pursuit of their stolen egg, blending real disaster spectacle with earnest monster mayhem. It's campy fun wrapped in the rubble of a city learning not to mess with nature.
