How It Feels

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

A charmingly inept alien invasion film where the dead walk, the flying saucers wobble, and the stakes feel pleasantly inconsequential. It's the kind of movie that works best when you're watching for the sheer commitment to its own absurdity.
