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.

For the locals on Erin Island, it's last orders.
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!

On a remote Irish island something creature like is stirring, new Garda partners Ciaran OShea and Lisa Nolan are about to become the islands only hope for survival
Great great fun, a play on Tremors, itself a play/homage to the creature features of the 1950s, Grabbers has all the fun schlocky staples in place, but crucially it also has its own identity. The islanders are a bunch of eccentric types and the two Garda protagonists are polar opposites but not cliché ridden, their chemistry strong as...

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 appropriate than for this... thing, to seek out the closest human community and start to cause trouble?
No more plot for you, except to say that this comedy/horror movie also contains a classic lovestory and a lot of ale! A lot of ale might be an understatement actually.
Yes, I said /horror, but really, there is nothing to be scared about here. This movie follows the tradition of Shaun of the Dead and The World's End, which means a few lau...
