Attack the Block

Movie: Attack the Block
Genre: horror
Synopsis: Sam (Jodie Whittaker) is on her way home located in a crime-ridden section of London when she is mugged by a gang of teenaged boys – who turn out to live in the same apartment building that she does.  After the mugging the gang investigates a strange explosion that occurred nearby.  It turns ouy to be some kind of alien creature that attacks them.  The rest of the movie follows the gang as they do battle with the dozens of other aliens that land and seem intent on killing them.

My two cents: A bit out of the ordinary.  The story line was a little thin.  The thing that stood out were the creatures.  They looked like short, hairy gorillas with fangs that glow in the dark.  In hindsight, I would have been happy to wait for it to come around on TV.
