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?

Hilarious and entertaining! With creative effects and loveable characters to boot!
Meh. Despite being a "horror comedy" it had almost no humor in it. There's just no real jokes here and the monster kills are the only thing that saves it from being terrible, still, not worth watching. Just feels amateurish.
ONE OF THE BEST CREATURE FEATURES EVER!
Inventive premise, well executed. The aliens and the humans were both entertaining.
Great Irish drinkin monster movie! Lots of fun!
