When they kick at your front door . . .

Attack the Block

(2011)

Hfs, what a great freakin' low-budget alien-invasion flick! Let me count the ways:

1. Not really an invasion: one earthling plausibly suggests that the beings were shot into space like spores, to find or not find a fertile breeding ground;
2. not only not the standard-issue superintelligent aliens, but actually very primitive ones, blind quadrupeds with glowing (and very sharp) teeth, powerful jaws, and a great sense of smell;
3. and they land in South London, where of course the police are incompetent and interested only in fucking with black kids, so . . .
4. junior Brixton gangbangers have to save the planet.

Goofy in a good way, and when the writing isn't straightforward brilliant, it's brilliantly stilted and clichéd. Not sure but what I might need this one.
