Grabbers
Directed by Jon Wright
In this hilarious horror comedy that delighted midnight audiences at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival, an Irish village throws a boozy blowout when aliens with an aversion to alcohol invade. After a local drunk survives an attack by a tentacled space monster, the town’s ecologist (LOOKING’s Russell Tovey) figures out liquor is toxic to the outer space octopi. To keep their town intact, they’ll have to get everyone rip-roaring drunk. But will being inebriated hurt their ability to fight the grabbers? Or is liquid courage exactly what everyone needs to survive?

Funny and somewhat fresh Irish creature feature. Solid low budget fix and charming chemistry between the two leads. Recommended for a popcorn monster movie night. I.J.S.
It’s like a 21st century reboot of Tremors with a drunken, Irish twist- with an extra serving of cheese. And I’m not hating any of it. Pretty entertaining, although I had to put on subtitles. These blokes have a thick draw (?)
i shoulda just described this movie as "good craic"
One of my favourite films of the past 20 years. It's my go to suggestion for anyone looking for a good laughs, good scares, good pacing and good... no GREAT MONSTERS. 👍🏾👏🏾👊🏾
Enjoyed
