How It Feels

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

A gloriously trashy creature-feature that treats its brain-eating monster invasion with complete earnestness despite the sheer strangeness of the premise. It's camp horror that doesn't wink at the camera, which makes it all the more amusing and weird.
