Attack The Block (2011)

This is a British science-fiction adventure film written and directed by Joe Cornish. The story revolves around a street gang of young teenagers who are out on Bonfire Night looking to get into trouble. While they are involved in mugging a young woman (Jodie Whittaker), an object flies out of the sky totally destroying a nearby parked car. While the boys are investigating, their leader Moses (John Boyega) is attacked by an alien creature. The boys quickly chase it down and kill it. Soon though, more flaming objects fall from the sky. The boys, still pumped up from the triumph of their encounter with the initial extraterrestrial, decide to go out and kill the others. Unfortunately, these other beasts are nothing like the first. These monsters are killing machines that will stop at nothing to get to the boys and destroy them. Will the gang be able to survive or can they defend their housing estate and possibly save the world?
