"Ciarán O’Shea, the handsome though washed up policeman of sleepy Erin Island, has a daily routine consisting mainly of hanging out at the pub with the local drunks and various other charmingly eccentric characters. But his day is about to go horribly wrong. Teamed up with the unwanted help of Lisa – an uptight workaholic policewoman from the Irish mainland – they suddenly find themselves dealing with dead whales, decapitated fishermen and weird alien creatures or “grabbers”. Like a giant squid with tentacles, fanged jaws and a three-foot barbed tongue, they’re making mincemeat of the locals. Faced with another imminent attack, O’Shea and Lisa figure out that the only person to survive the last onslaught only did so because he was so drunk his blood was literally toxic to the monsters. So there is only one thing for it: They have to get the entire village as drunk as possible in order to survive the night ... a task that the villagers apply themselves to with gusto. But one person must remain sober so for the first time in years O’Shea has to face up to things without a drink. When things don’t go to plan, an extremely drunk Lisa and a very sober O’Shea have to reconcile their differences and somehow save the day." www.upcominghorrormovies.com/movie/grabbers

This has potential to be really funny, but I have a feeling it's going to be a stinker. I'll probably check it out anyway though.

Here's a trailer so we have a little something to go off.

I'd give that a dvd viewing.

From what I saw, the CGI was above par when it comes to films like this, but it wasn't anything to write home to.

I'd certainly check it out on Netflix. Looks pretty entertaining, thought I agree with Scott that the CGI isn't anything outstanding.

That didn't move me in any way towards or away from watching this.

I would watch this if it showed up on netflix. It looks like it would be either potentially hilarious or just plain hilariously bad.

Either one works for me.

Ditto. But I have a feeling this can and will be a good watch.

A review from one of the UHM staff here: www.upcominghorrormovies.com/review/grabbers-2012Final thoughts... "This is an all-around fun creature feature that offers some decent comedy, silly characters, and above-average CG effects. Whether you're a Lovecraft fan or someone simply looking for an enjoyable horror comedy, you'll likely have a good time with this one. Worth a look!" Not bad, I'll give it a watch.
