First-time director Joe Cornish, along with producer Edgar Wright (Shaun of the Dead, Scott Pilgrim vs. The World), has crafted a movie that our reviewer Drew Tinnin referred to as “a truly fresh and exhilarating marvel” while Heather “The Horror Chick” Wixson called Attack The Block “a truly remarkable debut film that establishes Joe Cornish as a compelling storyteller.”

Synopsis
Attack the Block is a fast, funny, frightening action adventure movie that pits a teen gang against an invasion of savage alien monsters. It turns a housing estate into a sci-fi playground. A tower block into a fortress under siege. And weapon-wielding teenage thugs into heroes. Think ASSAULT ON PRECINCT 13 only with monsters and a tower block. Or LA HAINE crossed with ALIENS. It’s inner city versus outer space.
