Grabbers
Directed by Jon Wright
In this hilarious horror comedy that delighted midnight audiences at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival, an Irish village throws a boozy blowout when aliens with an aversion to alcohol invade. After a local drunk survives an attack by a tentacled space monster, the town’s ecologist (LOOKING’s Russell Tovey) figures out liquor is toxic to the outer space octopi. To keep their town intact, they’ll have to get everyone rip-roaring drunk. But will being inebriated hurt their ability to fight the grabbers? Or is liquid courage exactly what everyone needs to survive?

Surprisingly delightful flick. If you're looking for an earnest horrific comedy this is it.
If you like Critters and Tremors and Gremlins, you will probably like these cute little sucking creatures. There is the bonus in this film of mandatory drunkenness. The little alien monster genre is combined with the quaint Irish community genre to come up with something a different, but not too different.
Satire? Or comedy horror? Or both?
Rather fun monster movie.
fun lil creature feature. definitely not to be taken seriously, but a lot of fun and worth a watch
