Alien + Boyz 'N the Hood
The premise of bad things happening to bad people is exactly what we want to see. We love karma. But how dumb can people be? A furry, fanged, devil beast falls from space through a car, and you pick a fight with it?!
Why is it that none of the kids think through the mother dear theory? If there is small aliens, there is bound to be a larger/mother alien close by. However cheesy though, I do enjoy the glowing fang effect.
The onset of gore is rather abrupt, but is a major plus to the B-Movie aspect.
The small, almost overlooked, detail that the main woman is a nurse, and is stuck in "the block" with the injured boy is too much of a coincidence. The one person who should most be against the boys turns out to be the one who has to help them to save herself.
The peephole jump scene got me, I'll admit. Unrealistic as it may be, it got me. The drugs-guns-monsters argument that they were government planted was sly, but very black-agenda sounding.
The intentionally late presentation of the reason behind all the madness was worth the wait. A fresh alternative to all the easy-outs used in other movies.
After 3-4 sittings I finally got through the movie. I was somewhat excited to see it was over.
