Attack The Block Review!

Attack the block is a film about a bunch of teenagers that find an alien and decide that want it as a trophy and not realising that the aliens friends were on there way, as a result the aliens decide to attack there tower block, and the teens aren't happy and go to war against the aliens not releasing what they are up against and pay the price...

Attack the block is a relatively low budget film that in the process of making what is a very good film manages to introduce a bunch of budding young actors on to the scene, and as first films go this certainly isn't a bad one with action scenes, light comedy, gruesome and scary it covers just about all potential audiences.
The film uses this light humour to lighten up what at sometimes is a dark and grotesque film, and manages to succeed at being funny and a sci-fi, (which hasn't been done in most people opinion since Shaun Of The Dead) it does very well to keep the seriousness of a sci-fi.

I really enjoyed watching this film it had a sarcastic humour and I loved the retro look to the aliens they look like the aliens that you used to fight in these old video games, I don't as a rule like these film that are intended to scare you they just don't appeal to me but the humour attracted me to this film and i think that i will widen the films audience due to the fact I don't believe that i am the only person that doesn't like horror/scary movie thing, and i think its humour will work in its favour whilst also attracting people that do like that sort of movie.

The tension in this film kept you watching, in these scary movies you can pretty much garante that someone in going to die and this film is no different, but that is what kept me watching, it may sound bad but the film constantly had you thinking who is going next. It has a clever story line, and i like how it worked as who died isnt just random there is a reason and i though that was well thought out. I would reccomend this film to a friend, if you are looking for... it sound weird to say but light hearted scary film there is not anything that is better form recent years.
