Attack the Block review

Attack the Block is a sci-fi thriller film but involves a bit of every genre. This film has action in abundance, which keeps you on the edge of your seat, or falling off your seat in my case. Comedy is also involved in this film as the characters are very humorous, the humor used was the type I like.They did not use too much so it didn't take away from the scary feel to the movie. I feel that the mixture of genres is a good thing so it is not pigeonholed into one genre bringing in more customers.

I feel that the small budget helped the film as they could not afford all big actors so they had to discover new actors. I feel this is a good thing because we gain a link with the characters and we see them as that character only. The acting was of high class, every actor played their part perfectly, especially Brewis I feel that he acts his character very well as he often has to act stoned and looks real, not put on. However the lack of money affected the film as they were not aloud to use the technology necessary. The monsters the company created looked very amateur which took a bit away from the film, but they still managed to scare me.

I feel that the story line was very interesting as it made us get a connection with the bad characters in the film, it also kept me glued to the screen throughout the film. We also learn that there is a good person in everyone, for example Moses is seen as a hero in the end, when at the start of the film he robbed someone.

Overall I feel that Attack the Block is a very good movie that interested me throughout, however I feel that with a little more of a budget they could improve it with more realistic monsters and effects. I would give this film a 4/5 rating.
