Sony pictures kindly sent me a copy of their new horror
comedy "Grabbers", by director Jon Wright, to take a look at. So not wishing to
disappoint, here’s my review.
A Meteor that crashes down in the ocean marks the start of a
series of bizarre disappearances from around the nearby island
of Erin
When a strange tentacled creature gets captured by a local
fishermen, they realise its the start of an alien invasion and the island is
now under siege. Fortunately, it turns out these creatures are adversely
affected by alcohol, so as the creatures prepare to attack, the locals head for
the bar for a drinking frenzy the likes of which has never been seen.
Imagine “Night of the Living Dead”, but set in a pub instead
of a farmhouse, and with Cthulu creatures instead of zombies and throw in a lot
of jokes about the Irish’s love of drink, and you have “Grabbers”. If you
enjoyed “Shaun of the Dead”, you should like this.
The film is already out on UK DVD
and Blu-Ray and comes with filmmakers commentary track, an interview with
Director Jon Wright, a behind the scenes feature, a selection of outtakes and a
photo gallery as extras.
