Attack the Block


IMDB
First time viewed: Yes
Current Release: Yes
Watched With: Myself

Awesome! Joe Cornish has made a great debut feature. Again, don't know if this was ever going to get a release in Australia. In situations like this, it's easier to just order a bluray from overseas.

Those creatures are nasty little things. They remind me of Critters but pitch black with glow in the dark teeth. They are simple and effective.

The young cast of mainly unknowns are great. There's an authenticity to their speech and behaviour and it's an unexpected demographic to see in a sci-fi action which is probably why it works so well. Like the best sci-fi, it also serves to make for some interesting social commentary.

I found the whole thing fascinating and completely enjoyable. It's a lot of fun, seek it out.
