Vista Theatre

"Add Attack the Block to your list of low budget miracles that includes The Evil Dead, Dead Alive, and Duel. Hilarious, inventive, action packed, and surprisingly touching from its very first scene, Attack the Block is the kind of low budget action film we don’t see enough of. The filmmakers leave it all out on the field and we the audience are lucky recipients of the genius of that approach."

"Simply put, there would be NO Lord of the Rings trilogy, no Star Wars trilogy, without this movie. But even more importantly put, no movie before or since has quite pulled off the feat pulled off here. Seven Samurai somehow manages to be both a supremely entertaining crowd pleasing action-adventure epic AND one of the deepest, most profound statements on humanity ever put to film."
