Attack the Block is a really good film, 4 stars all the way.
On first inspection, I was expecting this to be simply “Chavs Vs Aliens” but in fact it was so much better than I thought it would be. Although we learn from the special features that this is a very low budget affair, that really doesn’t come across while…more

This film has some good ideas but doesn’t really work that well, so I have given it only 1 star.
The Silent House is a Uruguayan production, directed and written by Gustavo Hernandez and is quite bold in its concept, being filmed on a hand-held digital SLR in one continuous take. This is intended to increase the horror of the situation,…more
