Finally we get to see what the rest of the world already has. Our pick of the films opening today is Joe Cornish’s UK sci-fi horror comedy Attack the Block. This looks like some seriously good monster fun.
Here’s the red band trailer:
Do you fancy some alien action this weekend?
Attack the Block follows a gang of tough inner-city kids who rob Sam (Jodie Whittaker) as she’s walking home in a scary South London neighbourhood. She flees when the gang is attacked by a small alien creature which falls from the sky. While Sam and the police hunt for the gang, a second wave of creatures falls. The gang grabs weapons, mount bikes, and set out to defend their turf. But this time, the creatures are much bigger. Savage and bestial, nothing will stand in their way. And the bunch of no-hope kids who just attacked Sam are about to become her only hope.
The Joe Cornish-directed, Edgar Wright-produced film stars Nick Frost, Jodie Whittaker, John Boyega, Simon Howard, Luke Treadaway, Franz Drameh, Leeon Jones, Sammy Williams, and Alex Esmail.
