This was a pretty good UK Sci fi /horror flick. Kinda had an 80's or 90's feel to it.
The kids are unbearable at first and I was hoping to see them shredded to pieces ASAP. Eventually I started to not mind them. One actually looks like Ryan/Londoner with an afro.
The acting is okay and there is enough action and blood to keep most entertained.
Definitely worth a look.

Just finished watching this movie and thought it was hilarious plus it had some action. It's sort of a mix of the Goonies, Alien, and boyz in the hood...I give it a solid B

Damn George, I'm impressed. Figured this wasnt mainstream enough for you, surprised you chose it. I liked it as well.

Watched this a while back and forgot about it. Reminded me of E.T. in reverse with a darker feel. Pretty decent movie.
