SXSW: Attack The Block and Insidious are fest favourites

The South By Southwest Film Festival is closing up this week after a breathless run of exclusive film screenings.

Now that all the hullabaloo has started to die down, it’s time to reflect on the films that showed during the festival, and pick out the best of the lot.

And according to those in attendance, it’s Attack The Block and Insidious that are the films to keep an eye on when they’re gifted nationwide release.

The former is a new sci-fi thriller from Joe Cornish, who makes his directorial debut. And by all accounts, it’s a fantastic first film.
