5. Attack the Block (2011)
What happens when aliens land in one of the poorer London ghettos? They have to deal with the local kids who prowl the streets, that’s what. This London-style twist on an old-fashioned invasion horror film is both wickedly funny and shockingly impactful. You think you’re going in for just a light alien romp (a promise on which Attack the Block totally delivers) and you end up gaining some slight insight into the hardships that haunt the daily lives of the kids who so often get forgotten in the first world.
