Oh man, loved this movie. This occupies a similar spot for me as Europa Report, a great low-budget movie I highly enjoyed watching once but haven't thought about much since. John Boyega should be in more stuff. He was great in The Force Awakens but wasn't given enough to do in the other two Star Wars sequels. He and Oscar Isaac had such great chemistry, it's criminal they didn't make use of that in the other movies.

We were discussing that same thing at the end of the movie. John Boyega is a star when he is onscreen, and he should be working all the time (and 100% the Star Wars films did not give him enough to do after Part VII).

Epic movie! Best of British!

I don't know why but as an American I really love the South London street slang. Trust, fam.

💜💙💜💙 I know it was a paid recommendation, but THANK YOU! So glad you guys enjoyed it — I wouldn’t have asked you to watch it if I thought otherwise! It was a real delight to watch this back with you. 💜 If you’re a fan of movie soundtracks, I encourage you to look for this one, or at least the tracks called “It’s Raining Gollums”, and “Tooling up”. This movie talks a lot about racism and urban policing, so the composer used a LOT of sirens, etc in the music. It’s pretty sick. ALSO: As a serious animal lover, I also find hurting animals to be a particularly difficult thing in media. I adore this movie so much that I can look past it, but I forgot about the Pogo thing and felt really bad for you guys! Also also: This was the first on-screen (or ANY public) role for some of these young actors, who were from local drama groups.

Happy birthday Sarah P! I totally forgot about the dog death in this movie too. But yeah otherwise it's excellent.

Hey thank you! We had a blast doing this and the Pogo thing didn't ruin this movie whatsoever. It was amazing! Such a great recommendation, hope you enjoyed your Birthday!

Thank you for this! We had a great time with it. We are a sucker for really good genre mashups (they always have a more original sensibility than genre films), and this one was terrific. And the creature design was really original. What a terrific film!
