Film Review - Grabbers
July 18, 2013
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.
