Maybe I'm overdoing it and fatigue is kicking in, maybe I was in a mood but I just couldn't get into this from the get go. I failed to care about the group, the setting of the film, the dialogue and the colloquiums. I also found the direction choices took me out of the film. I initially disliked the appearance of the alien, but the subsequent creatures have a fantastic look, with the teeth being distinct. There are some moments where the director doesn't hold back on the gore, and this is where Attack the Block succeeds. Unfortunately its few and far between.
