Grabbers

What could possibly be funnier that a village of drunken Irishmen trying to ward off an alien invasion? On Erin island, nothing seems to be capable of disturbing the peace of the local community, who split their time between their fishing boats and the neighborhood pub. Until a meteorite suddenly drops out of the sky, bringing some unwanted visitors along for the ride: a bunch of tentacled bloodthirsty beasts from outer space, whose only weakness is their alcohol intolerance! As fishermen start to disappear and dead whales wash up on the shore, a rather overenthusiastic biologist, a constantly drunk cop and his pedantic new partner take it into their hands to protect the inhabitants in traditional Irish style: with a night of all-out beer drinking! Based on a crazy concept and emboldened by guilty pleasures like "Gremlins" and "Shaun of the Dead", Jon Wright infuses the b-movie genre with a healthy dose of British eccentricity, serving up a horror comedy with a serious hangover. Official selection at the Sundance, Edinburgh, Karlovy Vary and Fantasia International Film Festivals. Th.P.
