How It Feels

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

A B-movie romp where two guys stumble into a military conspiracy involving mutant ants, blending schlocky creature horror with tongue-in-cheek action and comedy. It's a film that knows exactly what it is and leans into the ridiculous fun.
