Attack The Block (2011) Campy and cheesy sci-fi horror comedy with some ridiculous blatantly oxygen thieving characters. However it did have some entertainment value in watching them meet their ends. Could have done with perhaps more violence and gore to make those scenes even more satisfying but not bad as it was. Though the idea of there being any "heroes" in this shower of shit-heads was a pathetically lame brainfart on the part of the director. So forcing that issue adds a degree of unintentional comedy (the only thing I actually found funny in the entire movie) towards the end. Not one I would watch again but a time killer if nothing else.
Paradise Lost (2006) Cash-in on the paranoia surrounding tourists being kidnapped and their organs being removed and sold. Better than I expected it to be with some genuinely tense scenes, odd bit of gore and gorgeous cinematography that transcends it's low budget. Surprising to see potential victim characters with so much bite and fight in them despite the obvious stereotyping. Worth a look though don't expect it to be as grim as the harsh reality of the issue but kudos for the bloody good attempt.
