Movies and TV Attack the Block

Megbert · 05-25-2011, 11:52 PM

I just caught a screening of this movie. I have to say watching the trailer I was prepared for a PG13 movie about an alien invasion. After viewing this I'm gonna go out on a limb and say it'll be rated R. That is if they don't change anything. It's a great movie lots of humor, gore and creepy aliens with glowing blue teeth.

Nick Frost (Spaced, Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz etc) is in it in a supporting role. Probably the most famous person in the movie.

It's in the vein of the 80's horror/sci-fi movies. Imagine an R rated Goonies with a bit of Tremors and Critters thrown in for good measure.

Basically: Group of teens see a car get demolished by something falling from the sky. Ends up being an alien. Some more aliens fall from sky and start hunting the kids as they defend their "block".

I love the Brit HorrorComs.

Watched Doghouse the other day and was pleasantly surprised. Like Shawn Of The Dead meets The Hangover.

Is it racist that I think it's funny to hear black people speaking in a British accent?
