Trainee nurse Sam is walking home to her flat in a South London tower block when she's robbed by a gang of masked, hooded youths. She's saved when the gang are distracted by a bright meteorite, which falls from the sky and hits a nearby parked car. Sam flees, just before the gang have to fight off a small alien creature that leaps from the wreckage. While Sam and the police hunt for the gang, a second wave of meteors fall. Confident of victory against such feeble invaders, the gang grab weapons, mount bikes and set out to defend their turf. But this time, the creatures are bigger. Much bigger. Sam suddenly realises that the bunch of no-hope kids who attacked her are about to become her… more » best and only hope to survive. Attack The Block is a fast, funny and frightening action-adventure movie that pits a teen gang against an invasion of savage alien monsters. It turns a London housing estate into a sci-fi playground. A tower block into a fortress under siege. And teenage street kids into heroes. It¹s inner city versus outer space.

Brilliant!

Wolf from Clare, 19 Feb 2012

If you take this too seriously, you are watching the wrong movie. Its not as gory as Sean and the Dead, but I thought it was really, really funny. Great character development. If you think this is stereotyping, well maybe, yes, but I've worked with kids like this, and they found it funny too - loved it!
