Hell, yes! Screw Super 8! This is the alien movie to see this summer. The tagline of Inner City vs Outerspace says it all. But what it doesn't full let you know is how awesome this movie is in a late 70's Assault on Precinct 13/The Warriors kind of way. The dialogue is hilarious. The action is sillily stupendous. The aliens are so low budget that it is incredible. They look like people wearing black fur outfits with humongous glow-in-the- dark teeth. The social commentary is great -- the block is being attacked by aliens but no one wants to call the police because they know they will get blamed somehow.
I'm looking forward to seeing this film again. And hopefully soon.
Directed by Joe Cornish
