Time and time again the independent filmmaker outshines and out-creates anything Hollywood can do. And that's especially true of "Attack the Block". In fact, I promise you're going to end up rooting for the bad guys in this film.
The bad guys are inner city kids. Punks. In the UK. (Yeah, the Brits have their gangs, too.) At the beginning of the film they attack a young woman, who manages to get away sans her purse. While the boys are rejoicing at their haul, they witness a flaming something fall from the sky and land nearby. They go to investigate, and that's where the horror begins. As more of the alien creatures arrive, the gang holes up in an apartment building and try to survive the attack.
The gore and kills are plentiful. The CGI is sparse. And the creatures are incredible, fresh, and unique. My only qualm is that it took a while for my ears to adjust to understanding the accents, but that was a minor detail.
Overall, my enthusiastic recommendation is that you
