One flick I want to see more and more everytime I hear about it is Joe Cornish’s ATTACK THE BLOCK. This sci-fi romp has been gracing our pages here at AITH for a while now and there’s been nothing but positive word surrounding it.
It was just the other day we got a look at a new still from the flick and now I’m here to bring you guys some brand new clips! You can thank me later.
The trio of clips, all found below or over in our videos section, give us some more kids vs alien action! Just scroll away to check them out and enjoy!
Trainee nurse Sam is walking home to her flat in a scary South London tower block when she’s robbed by a gang of masked, 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. Sam flees, just before the gang are attacked by a small alien creature that leaps from the wreckage. The gang chase the creature and kill it, dragging its ghoulish carcass to the top of the block, which they treat as their territory.
While Sam and the police hunt for the gang, a second wave of meteors falls. Confident of victory against such feeble invaders, the gang grab weapons, mount bikes and mopeds, and set out to defend their turf. But this time the creatures are bigger. Much bigger. Savage, shadowy and bestial, they are hunting their fallen comrade, and nothing will stand in their way. The estate is about to become a battleground! And the bunch of no-hope kids who just attacked Sam are about to become her, and the block’s, only hope.
Now ATTACK THE BLOCK hit theaters yesterday but unfortunately it wasn’t a very wide release. Actually the thing only hit 8 theaters! Ouch. I’ve actually got that list of theaters right here so cross your fingers this thing is showing near you.
