As a film blogger, I feel obligated to share this new red-band trailer for Attack the Block, but honestly, I do not recommend watching it. It is riddled with spoilers and good jokes which are better enjoyed when you see the film. If you are the impatient type, I understand. But before you give up seeing this UK flick anytime soon, take a look at the remaining screening dates here. Also, the film opens in Los Angeles, New York, Toronto, San Francisco, Seattle, Austin, and Chicago on July 29th.
If you are unfamiliar with Attack the Block, it is a science-fiction/comedy about urban London youths versus nasty alien invaders. It comes from the producers of Shaun of the Dead and is directed by Joe Cornish, a frequent Edgar Wright collaborator. With company like that, you'd expect quality - and Block delivers.
