SYNOPSIS/PLOT

A teen gang in South London defend their block from an alien invasion. From the creators of Shaun of the Dead and Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, comes this zany alien movie that has been all the rage in the United Kingdom. A group of teenage punks mug a nurse who they wind up leaving alone when they see a weird object plummeting down towards a car. When it reaches the vehicle, the gang sees that what has landed there is a strange creature. Neighborhood kids prepared to fight off an invasion, incredibly fresh performances and more than one touch of humor round off this film that was born to be labeled a cult film.

PRO REVIEWS

----------------------------------------
"The cast is splendid, the script quick-witted and the action satisfying. If Steven Spielberg and J.J. Abrams had turned "Super 8" into a low-budget B-movie, it might have looked something like this (...) Rating: **** (out of five)" (Elizabeth Weitzman: New York Daily News)

----------------------------------------
"A clever blend of sci-fi and comedy, which pits toothy furball space invaders against young South London thugs" (Claudia Puig)

----------------------------------------
"An entertaining thriller in the tradition of 1970s B-action films, with an unknown cast, energetic special effects and great energy (...) Rating: *** (out of four)" (Roger Ebert: Chicago Sun-Times)

----------------------------------------
"An infectiously larky extraterrestrial invasion movie that respects the genre conventions while spicing the brew with distinctive local flavor" (David Rooney: The Hollywood Reporter)

----------------------------------------
"A hilarious, slam-bang series of chases and battles that cross 'Gremlins' with 'Assault on Precinct 13' (...) Rating: *** (out of four)" (Lou Lumenick: New York Post)
