Grabbers (2012) 8/10

Starring : Richard Coyle, Ruth Bradley, Russell Tovey, Lalor Roddy, David Pearse, Bronagh Gallagher
Director : Jon Wright
Running Time : 94 mins

When a number of giant squid-like creatures are discovered on a remote Irish island, Garda officers Ciaran O’Shea (Coyle) and Lisa Nolan (Bradley) discover that the only way to stop the blood-sucking creatures from killing everyone is to get the entire village drunk.

This is a fantastic horror flick filled with some great performances, especially from Bradley who is possibly the best drunk I’ve seen in a long time. Fans of horror films will love the nods to the genre, such as the scientist discovering the weaknesses of the beast and the ridiculous solution to the alien invasion, and fans of comedy will love the way the two cops handle the problem – by not telling anyone about the beasts and just inviting them all to a piss up!
