Attack The Block

Synopsis

From the producers of 'Shaun of the Dead' and 'Scott Pilgrim vs. The World' comes Attack The Block, a fast funny, frightening action adventure movie that pits a teen gang against an invasion of savage alien monsters. It turns a London tower block into a fortress under siege, and a weapon wielding teenage thugs into heroes. It's inner city versus outer space.
