Grabbers (2012)
8/10
Irish men and women need to get drunk in order to fight off deadly, tentacled aliens. Need I say more?
8 March 2024
A quaint, oceanside Irish town gets overrun by weakly CGI-ed blood-sucking aliens, and their main line of defense, is to poison their blood by doing the one thing that nobody in a fight-for-your-life type of situation should ever do: get drunk.

The atmosphere is like that of the movie: Tremors. It's light-hearted, kind of silly, it's got its quirky characters and whimsical humor. Even the names of the creatures are similar (Grabbers vs. Graboids). And notice who gets to "name" them in each movie...the zaniest local in the story! It's only decent halfway through, but once the "lock-in" starts, that's where the fun really sets in!!

Despite a simplistic plot, the movie succeeds in its execution. The village drunk becomes the village hero by NOT being the village drunk, while the non-village drunks become the village "drunks." And you gotta love some of the characters (or at least one or two). Don't take it seriously, pop some popcorn, and pop some beer tabs while yer at it because if the town's gettin' drunk, you might as well be too.
