Great Film overall

A different way of telling a story

A Brilliant Conflict

The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

There's alot of old school 80s style fun in this movie but the main gang of youths are little street thugs but turns out not so bad as the film goes on. The creatures/Aliens look AWESOME in Attack the block,they really look cool & menacing & made the old school way by practical FX like the 80s Films that inspired it such as Critters 3 & many others & in really like the big urban tower block setting, it's a cool place to have creatures stalking around & lurking in creepy corridors so a real cool 80s almost Carpenter style atmosphere!!! Like i said the gang of kids are ok some are cool & fight back really well so yeah not a bad bunch they are what they i mean it is supposed to be a rough london tower block so they would be wannabe gangsters. So yeah Attack the Block is a good fun watch & has some excellent monsters & some really cool scenes & a great atmosphere & location, a cool film that i do enjoy

What a horrible, tasteless, tacky POS! This movie epitomized the mindless drill that millennials have become! This movie is made to be played in the background as you do housework to drown out the sound of the vacuum, that's about all it's good for, or maybe, I couldn't even finish that sentence, that's how mind numbingly BAD this movie is!

For it's few flaws - including a difficult to relate to and even borderline unlikable, though eventually empathetic and entertaining, set of main characters and a basic plot that whizzes by in a blink-and-you'll-miss-it kind of way, since it's much more focused on the propelling of action than the minutia of narrative - 'Attack The Block (2011)' is just breathlessly entertaining, consistently enjoyable and always a taut experience that keeps you on the edge-of-your-seat. It's actually quite a tense watch because, not only does it aptly establish real stakes relatively early on, the aliens themselves are wonderfully tangible and feel like palpable presences within every scene in which they appear, always ready to tear out a throat no matter if it belongs to a hardened criminal or an innocent child. It's this balance, of proper danger and grit with an equal level of fast-paced fun, that makes the flick as exciting and generally delightful as it is. It actually feels like a breath of fresh air, in some ways, even though it conforms to its genre, mainly because it's just so totally efficient and, as such, so totally effective. 7/10

I am not a huge fan of horror films and the reasons I chose to see this film was because it featured John Boyega in a pre-Star Wars part and because the plot is creative. Overall, I found it to be watchable but nothing I'd jump to recommend. I do, however, admire the film's ability to tell the story with a very small budget. The plot involves a tough London neighborhood which is invaded by weird alien creatures. These things are NOT particularly nice and when the cops don't seem to be coming to the rescue, the local junior hoods rise to the occasion and declare all out war on them.If you do watch this film, understand that the story is very, very simple and the language is raw. Aliens versus punks and that's about it. But it manages to work well for what it is. My only qualms is understanding some of the language....it's hard for many to understand the slang and accents so I'd strongly recommend you turn on the closed captions unless you can easily follow the dialog.
