    [Highly rated reviewer]

    It's funny, the young actors are great, there's plenty of tension and a bit of gore. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I'm not enjoying the reviews of people using the word 'chav' though. I quite hope one of the fluorescent toothed aliens munches them to be honest.

    The fact that so many people seem to hate this film (though only those writing reviews, curiously, if you look at the breakdown of the ratings) confirms to me that I'm out of step with the idiot mainstream and I'm quite pleased.

    Brilliant film, had put off watching for ages but the aliens weren't the ridiculous impossible to kill creatures which are defeated by some silly plot like most other alien films are.

    The characters were unlikable and the plot made no real sense. It was more of an excuse to have a gang fight alien that they wouldn't last a minute against.

  • Unwatchable - Film keeps juddering

    Rated - 0.5 stars

    What's the point when it won't even run smoothly? Told L F 2 months ago about this, came back hoping they'd fixed it - No chance. What about the film? I dunno, I can't watch it.

  • Quitissential, Stereotypical Thuggery

    Rated - 0.5 stars  
    By a customer , 25 Apr 2013
    Think of every stereotype that you have of thugs that live in the East End of London and I mean 'every one of them'. Think of violence, no morals, feeling 'hard innit' when you mug a lone female, hoodies, thumping music, enjoyment of doing the wrong thing in general and like most decent people you would feel thoroughly upset that a film like this is allowed to exist. I don't know what people from other countries think when they watch this film. I was embarassed. I endured about 15 minutes of it with a grimace on my face and then wanted to emigrate. Needless to say I turned the film off. It was badly written, not funny, badly acted and portrays people from deprived backgrounds in a really bad light, which I think is wrong. There are some good people on council estates, but none of them were evidenced in this film. It wasn't even worth half a star, but I had no option to do that. Just awful, and actually quite sad to watch.
