A ghastly aberration: unique because I craved all the characters' deaths after only ten minutes, AND wished the same for the actors,director and writer. The movie is old fashioned,(seems like something from the early 90's),un-credible (a vast grow-house on the 19th floor of a U.K. estates project? Pull the other one, Mate) witless, humorless, charmless and had me cheering for the alien invaders. If Cornish thinks he's got down what kids sound like or how they behave in life, he's not only wrong, but dangerously so. The actor playing Moses is awful and the movie depends on him.Sad,too,because the Edgar Wright imprimatur (and the Shaun of the Dead references on the box)has become unstable.The films from this quarter are either terrific or bombs. Avoid. This. Film.
