The Irish try their hand at creature features in Jon Wright's charming, booze-soaked, monster comedy Grabbers.
Channeling J.J. Abrams, Joe Dante & Steven Spielberg, Wright manages to craft an enthusiastic thrill ride packed with enough laughs and creepy crawlies to earn itself the title of "romp". The dialogue and actors stay at a steady pace to never get overly silly while still keeping funny enough to never get too revolting. It's short enough to never overstay it's welcome and long enough to make sure you care for the characters. Front to back it's simply an enjoyable horror-comedy.
