Film Review – Grabbers

GRABBERS Ruth Bradley

The monster movie tradition receives a delightful Irish makeover in
“Grabbers,” a fast and funny horror comedy that finds a fresh angle to
play in a subgenre that’s always in need of a change of pace. Led by
marvelous performances from stars Richard Coyle and Ruth Bradley,
director Jon Wright locates a specific position of insanity to play and
commits in full, making the small-scale adventure feel significant while
securing a healthy number of laughs during the ride. It’s cheeky and
reverential, keeping the creature feature alive with a glass-clinking
tilt, trading Americanized mayhem for Irish wit, a few close encounters,
and plot that actually finds a way to celebrate binge drinking.
