“Here lads, you discovered a species hereforeto unknown to science, and you kicked his head in?” Head below to see the first trailer for Joe Cornish’s UK sci-fi/horror/comedy!

Empire debuted the clip for the film, UK writer Joe Cornish's feature directorial debut. Executive produced by SHAUN OF THE DEAD director Edgar Wright and co-starring Nick Frost (SHAUN, HOT FUZZ, upcoming PAUL), the film sees “Sam (Jodie Whittaker) walking home in a scary South London tower block when she’s robbed by a gang of hooded youths. She flees when the gang are attacked by a small alien creature which falls from the sky.

“While Sam and the police hunt for the gang, a second wave of creatures falls. The gang grab weapons, mount bikes, and set out to defend their turf. But this time, the creatures are much bigger. Savage and bestial, nothing will stand in their way. And the bunch of no-hope kids who just attacked Sam are about to become her only hope.”

ATTACK THE BLOCK sees its world premiere at this month’s SXSW and looks like a seriously good time. Look for more exclusive coverage of the film and many others in the coming weeks! You can find out more about the film at its official site and if you're down in Austin for the fest, see its screening info here.
