Look, this is a nicely performed film which is kept quick and tight, but for a comic horror it's just not funny or horrifying enough.

Not only is Attack the Block wickedly entertaining, but it's also well-written, suspenseful, whip-smart and moves rocket fast.

Attack the Block is essentially an action thriller and as such is effective.

Delivers the much-needed energy he sci-fi genre was lacking and proves the star power of John Boyega.
