A New Clip from Sundance Flick ‘GRABBERS’ Washes Ashore

Grab a pint and cuddle up with this new clip.  Grabbers, a film about an Irish town that realizes that the only thing that repels a swarm of uninvited tentacled creatures is to keep drinking alcohol, premieres later today at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival.  The film looks to include a healthy bit of comedy in this creature-feature.  Twitch Film has caught a new clip from the film that has washed up on shore.  It doesn’t reveal the creatures in question, but it does include a certain bloke (Russell Tovey) that fans of the UK Being Human TV show know and love.

 

Something sinister has come to the shores of Erin Island, unbeknownst to the quaint population of this sleepy fishing village resting somewhere off Ireland’s coast. First, some fishermen go missing. Then there is the rash of whale carcasses suddenly washing up on the beach. When the murders start, it’s up to two mismatched cops–an irresponsible alcoholic and his new partner, a by-the-book woman from the mainland–to protect the townsfolk from the giant, bloodsucking, tentacled aliens that prey upon them. Their only weapon, they discover, is booze. If they want to survive the creatures’ onslaught, everyone will have to get very, very drunk!

Director Jon Wright’s whimsical throwback to classic monster flicks relishes in delivering perfectly timed thrills and madcap antics. In true cult fashion, Grabbers imparts the great fun of a spooky old carnival ride with an Irish twist. Don’t forget to grab a drink!

Somewhere between growing up on a steady diet of Saturday morning trips to the local comic-book shop, collecting an unhealthy amount of action figures, and frequent viewings of Ray Harryhausen and Hammer Horror films, came forth a nerdy boy that was torn between journalism and the arts. In high school, Michael found himself writing a movie column for the school newspaper. Yet, he went on to get a BFA in Studio Art at Webster University. When not writing about films, you can still find him discussing classic horror, collecting action figures, and reading Batman. Clearly, not much has changed.
