About this movie

It's inner city versus outer space and HARRY BROWN meets WAR OF THE WORLDS when aliens drop in on a London housing project and the only line of defence against the extraterrestrial invaders is a group of teenage hoodlums. The sci-fi comedy ATTACK THE BLOCK begins as trainee nurse Sam is walking home and is robbed by a gang of hooded youths. She's saved when the gang are distracted by a bright meteorite, which falls from the sky and hits a nearby parked car. A small alien creature leaps from the wreckage and the gang chase and kill it, dragging its ghoulish carcass to the top of the block...but bigger, more savage beasts are on the way and the estate is about to become a battleground.

Ratings and reviews

Excellent budget sci fi movie with well written script and great acting. Watch for John Boyega (Star Wars force awakens) and Jodie Whittaker (Broadchurch and the13th Doctor Who) !

I love this movie.., fun, cool characters, good acting. Drugs, aliens, gangs and guns - what more could u ask for. Love the interaction between the characters, they act and talk like real people. Great fun sci fi flick.

Great for those who have lived in London, as in it has modern British humour. Some pretty jumpy scenes and some funny ones too. I really enjoyed.
