How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A gleefully ridiculous creature feature where the fate of civilization hangs on the revelation that the apocalyptic threat is a giant bird. It's B-movie sci-fi at its most earnestly earnest, complete with military mobilization and international diplomacy, all for a flying turkey.
