When aliens attack, the only way to stay alive may be to get rip-roaring drunk. That’s the premise of Grabbers, a new sci-fi/horror/comedy starring Richard Coyle (Pusher), Ruth Bradley (“Primeval”) and Russell Tovey (“Being Human”). The Sundance Festival selection, directed by Jon Wright (Tormented) and written by Kevin Lehane, is so scientific that the bizarre theory for alien invasion survival needs to be tested, and the only way to do that is to get Ruth Bradley wasted for the very first time. And that’s the subject of our CraveOnline Exclusive clip from Grabbers, now available in select theaters and Video On Demand (VOD)!
On Erin Island, an idyllic fishing village off the coast of Ireland, charming but somewhat work-shy Ciaran O’Shea, is tasked with greeting Lisa Nolan, a straight-laced young officer who has arrived from the mainland. Not that there is much for them to do, aside from dealing with the occasional drunk, and that’s usually O’Shea himself. But strange doings are afoot: the crew of a fishing boat disappears, whales start appearing dead on the shore, a local lobsterman catches a strange tentacled creature in his trap. Soon it becomes clear to O’Shea and Nolan that there’s something big out there, and that it’s hungry. It’s time to rally the villagers, arm the troops…and head to the pub
