Entertainment Reviews:
Attack the Block is a prime example of what Kent Jones perceptively noted regarding John Carpenter's They Live, the B-movie's ability to penetrate working-class strife while working within unpretentious genre frames.

MUBI
Stands on its own two feet amongst the usual Brit comedy suspects, which is largely due to its cast of unknowns.

Exquisite Terror
Pulsing with a rowdy energy, the film works as both a sci-fi horror flick and a teen adventure film...
Los Angeles Times
3 stars out of 4 -- [A]n entertaining thriller in the tradition of 1970s B-action films, with an unknown cast, energetic special effect and great energy.
Chicago Sun-Times
Rating: 4.5/5 --
Attack the Block is one of the funniest films of the year, an even bigger achievement when you realize that almost all the young actors in it are making their feature debuts.

Washington Examiner
[A] clever blend of sc-fi and comedy, which its toothy furball space invaders against young South London thugs.
USA Today
[T]his fabulously inventive debut feature, written and directed by the British comedian Joe Cornish, never flags.

Product Description:
A group of London teens find themselves in the middle of an alien invasion and fight to defend their tower block from some evil extraterrestrials in this stylish sci-fi romp from the producers of SHAUN OF THE DEAD and SCOTT PILGRIM VS. THE WORLD. Beset by a gang of young thugs as she passes through a South London housing estate, Sam (Jodie Whittaker) is in the midst of being robbed when a ball of light falls out of the sky, and destroys a nearby car. Frightened, she flees from the scene just before an unearthly beast emerges from the wreckage and attacks Moses (John Boyega), the leader of the youthful gang. In retaliation, Moses and his crew slay the creature, and take it to a local drug den owned by ruthless gangster Hi-Hatz (Jumayn Hunter) for safe keeping. Later, as the police assist Sam in pursuing her assailants, strange lights start to rain down on the streets, heralding the arrival of a second, more ferocious, wave of creatures. With the city under siege, there's no place left to run. Quickly realizing she's going to have to fight if she wants to survive, Sam once again crosses paths with the street-tough teens, but instead of running away vows to battle alongside them to the bitter end. Meanwhile, Moses becomes the primary target of the aliens, and the group arms themselves with everything from baseball bats to high-powered fireworks in the fight to save the human race.
