REVIEW: ATTACK THE BLOCK
10/23/11
OVERVIEW: “It’s an alien invasion, bruv – believe it” and it’s coming to you from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment. “Trust, fam!” ATTACK THE BLOCK will be invading your area on Blu-ray Disc™ and DVD on October 25th, 2011. The film boasts an impressive roster, including fan favorites’ co-star Nick Frost (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz), and his cinema brethren filmmaker Edgar Wright serving as executive producer. It also introduces audiences to a slew of UK newcomers, like writer/director Joe Cornish (The Adventures of Tintin, co-written with Wright) and star John Boyega. Winner of the Audience Award for Midnighters at 2011 SXSW, ATTACK THE BLOCK is one of the best reviewed films of 2011 and has left an army of #BLOCKHEADS (the fan moniker for the film) chomping at the bit for this “must own” Blu-ray and DVD, both packed with extras, including cast and filmmaker commentaries and behind the scenes featurettes.
SYNOPSIS: From the producers of Shaun of the Dead, ATTACK THE BLOCK is a fast, funny, frightening action adventure movie that pits a teen street gang against an invasion of savage alien monsters. It turns a London housing project into a sci-fi battleground, the low-income apartment complex into a fortress under siege. And it turns a crazy mix of tough street kids into a team of kick ass heroes. It’s inner city versus outer space and it’s going to explode.
