Something sinister has come to the shores of Erin Island, unbeknownst to the quaint population of this sleepy fishing village resting somewhere off Ireland’s coast. First, some fishermen go missing. Then there is the rash of whale carcasses suddenly washing up on the beach. When the murders start, it’s up to two mismatched cops – an irresponsible alcoholic and his new partner, a by-the-book woman from the mainland – to protect the townsfolk from the giant, bloodsucking, tentacled aliens that prey upon them. Their only weapon, they discover, is booze. If they want to survive the creatures’ onslaught, everyone will have to get very, very drunk!

Irish mash up of Jaws and Tremors with some nods to Predator and, idk, Gremlins maybe? Surprisingly good effects with some character to the lovecraftian-ish tentacle monster. Quite fun and entertaining but simplistic and formulaic both as monster flick and comedy. Probably works best in a monster b-movie night with plenty of Irish whisky to match the theme.

These Irish and the curious way to defend against monster in this sympathetic movie

Very silly (in a good way), charming, and - well: it has Richard Coyle (who was my main reason for seing this) AND Russell Tovey - that's just icing on the cake! :D

A funny set on stage with a polished photography and FX which should be working great but that lacks the smart dialogues to make a good experience out of it.

Just boring.

Grabbers is a story set on Erin Island, near a little coastal community of good people; fishermen, workers, drunkards and policemen. One day, something enters earth's atmosphere. It (whatever it is) is clearly at home in the ocean, but also crave something else: blood... human blood. So what is more More

The movie cleverly plays with typical Irish cliches, and has beautifully scripted characters that are perfectly depicted by both, the main cast as well as the supporting cast. And while it has it's surprisingly gruesome scenes and shockers, it is mainly a comedy, and one that is typically Britis More
