Attack the Block

It's "Boyz from the Hood" meets "Battle: Los Angeles" in South London when junvenile delinquents must defend their turf from alien gorilla-wolf mother f*ckers. This low budget sci-fi thriller proves that you can get more with less. Without big CGI special effects or big named actors, this little British film delivers a more realistic action flick with an inner city edge. The alien creatures are of a simple design, but inspiring fear by featuring only one predominate weapon. For old fashion B movie fun, go check out this mini invasion.

Alien gives it 2 ½ "from hoodlums to heroes" stars out of 4.
