Grabbers

ALSO CHECK OUT - How I Murdered Myself 

This is the height of absurdity, and quite equally, the height of fun.

Imagine, one fine day a bunch of sea-dwelling, bloodthirsty and truly ugly aliens attack a small town in Ireland. It's the back of beyond, where suddenly these aliens show up raising their slimy, gooey tentacles and start gulping and chewing up people as if they were peanuts that accompany drinks served at your local town bar.

So as people go missing, the survivors start to get scared and wonder how they will survive the night. Because the creatures seem to be everywhere. People are terrified and panicking when they find out that one of them who had been gulped down by the alien was instantly puked out. Why they wonder? And then it hits them, the the person was drunk! They realise that the 'Grabbers' hate drunks more than your neighbourhood traffic cop and your mom combined. 


So the solution to the problems, the immunity to the creature, and the key to survival is to get drunk! I love this! 

Imagine! The survivors now gather at a bar to hide and everyone starts to drink as if their life depended on it, which it really does! 

And as the creature hunts them down, the people of the town start a party in the bar getting drunk like many a skunk. 

This is a thriller, it's well made, well acted, the creature is yucky and dangerous with tentacles and all, some of the scenes are suspenseful and scary, the characters are well etched and likeable, and yet at the end of the day this is a really funny movie. It is so different in idea, hence the story and the script are quite novel, quite quirky. 

The drink-to-survive idea is so unique, that you have to see it to believe it. What an idea! I personally drink-to-survive every evening but never thought of making it into a film, somebody did and did it well!

Imagine the climax, where a group of piss-ass drunk people try to take on the creature which is sober as a nun and has only had warm blood to drink! Can you guess who wins? 

The ending doesn't let you down, it gives you a high and is thrilling, scary yet hilarious. No hangovers here!  

And the name of the creature! Grabbers! Imagine that, By that logic a dog should be called Biters, a python Swallowers, a mouse Scurriers, and so on and so forth. The name could have only been given by a perpetually drunk, or an imaginative scriptwriter whether drunk or not.

So if you're in the mood for some simple fun, this is your lucky day as the entire movie is there on youtube. Grab a drink and enjoy!
