Jeremy of The Media Stomp wrote, "Writer/director Joe Cornish makes his film debut with Attack the Block, a very impressive alien invasion movie that takes place in South London. Everything manages to fit in perfectly. There are tons of action sequences, lots of jokes, great music and some good special effects. Nothing about the film feels forced or out of place and that is what really made this one shine. At the time of writing this, the film doesn't have an actual release date and I hope that changes very soon because this one needs to be seen by all. It's a great movie and probably my favorite summer movie so far."
Attack the Block 2 is officially in the works, with Joe Cornish returning to direct and John Boyega back on board to star.
What made Joe Cornish’s Attack the Block so fresh and lively in comparison to its American counterparts?
Since making its debut at the SXSW festival back in March 2011, Attack the Block has garnered a cult following with its tale of Brit hood teens VS man eating alien invaders winning acclaim worldwide.
With the film about to be released on Blu-Ray/DVD in Australia, director Joe Cornish talks to Matt’s Movie Reviews about his favourite alien invasion movies.
Enjoy!
