Plots(1)
When the tiny Irish township of Erin Island is invaded by bloodthirsty aliens from deep space, all hope appears lost. Salvation appears with the discovery that the octopus-like aliens are terminally allergic to alcohol-tainted human blood and the local townsfolk decide that it’s time to get drunk and get even! The Sundance smash hit has arrived! What do you do when blood-sucking aliens invade your hometown? Kick arse! What do you do if they’re allergic to alcohol? Get pissed, then kick arse! Only the Irish could dream up such a scenario. Grabbers is 90 minutes of drunken shenanigans that will have you, literally, running to the bar! Drink up or Die! Grabbers affectionately tips a tentacle to many creature feature traditions while raising a pint in the name of slime covered carnage and saturates you in both. A feckin’ scary laff-fest to be sure! (Monster Pictures)

I found the Irish-British movie Grabbers to be an enjoyable horror-comedy, with the comedy being the dominant factor about eighty percent of the time. The horror element really comes into its own towards the end. The movie greatly benefits from using both practical effects and CGI, which are just awesome and work really well to bring Grabbers to life, complementing its dry humor, goofy characters, and quirkiness.

With some booze in the blood and after watching it with friends, I’d give it one or two stars. Alone and sober, I reminisce with love last year’s Attack the Block. 5/10
