Attack the Block
Thursday–Sunday
May 10–13
Davies Theatre
6 + 8:30 pm
A gang of tough inner-city kids defends its turf against an invasion of savage alien creatures, turning a South London apartment complex into an extraterrestrial war zone. From the producers of Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz.
“The smartest, funniest cheap monster-movie import this side of Trollhunter, Attack the Block is a near-perfectly balanced seasonal trifle. Anchored in social realism yet determinedly goofy, it’s neither too eager for laughs nor overtly preachy” (Village Voice).
Sponsored by the University Activities Commission of the Student Senate
