New on DVD & Blu-Ray : ATTACK THE BLOCK (2011)

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.

Genre: Comedy, Horror, Sci-Fi, Adventure

What to Expect : Dark british comedy that gives the alien invasion genre a wink and a nudge. Never mind brainless gung-ho flicks like "Battle Los Angeles", this is where the action's at. What else can you expect from the team that brought us such classic genre-breakers as "Shaun of the Dead" and "Hot Fuzz" ?

ATTACK THE BLOCK (2011) - Red Band Trailer

Official Synopsis: From the producers of Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz, ATTACK THE BLOCK follows a gang of tough inner-city kids who try to defend their turf against an invasion of savage alien creatures, turning a South London apartment complex into an extraterrestrial warzone.

The movie is set for a July 29, 2011 limited release in the US, but director Joe Cornish is hoping to raise public awareness for the movie through this red band trailer. So far it seems the movie is enjoying some positive critical response. Calling it the next "District 9" might be a bit too enthusiastic, but it's certainly going to be a neat addition to "Hot Fuzz" and "Shaun of the Dead".
