UK peeps will probably have heard of Joe Cornish - of Joe and Adam fame.....
Well, he's written and directed his tribute to the alien attack genre - somewhere between Gremlins, Aliens, The Goonies, Monster Squad, Ghostusters and Snatch.
I didn't even really know about this film, but I noted Nick Frost was in it - and then another name caught my eye - Edgar Wright(Exec Prod).
Premise - Aliens attack a South London block of flats. Gang of youths fight for survival.
If South London dialect, in particular, black dialect annoys you - I don't think you'll like this, but to be fair, it fits the film perfectly. By the end, it's pretty hilarious. Film treads a decent line between horror/comedy. Takes itself serious enough, but knows when to deliver a few laughs.
This isn't a snappy Edgar Wright type film, but I can see why he'd exec produce this - and as I understand it, he's friends with Cornish anyway.
I have to admit, by the end, I was behind our unlikely heroes, in particular - the leader Moses. And I wouldn't mind seeing the continuing adventures of these guys.
Decent enough low budget. I'd say 8/10.
