We’ve seen aliens turn up in New York City, Tokyo, Los Angeles, London and many more locales around the world, but they picked the wrong place to invade in the latest creature feature. In Jon Wright‘s Irish horror comedy Grabbers, their one weakness is alcohol and yet they landed in the Irish countryside.
After premiering at Sundance Film Festival last year, the film which follows a fishing village that comes under attack by some nasty, face-sucking monster, is set to debut this summer. Led by Richard Coyle, Russell Tovey and Lalor Roddy, check out the entertaining look below, as well as the first U.S. poster, thanks to IGN.
Synopsis:
Something sinister has come to the shores of Erin Island, unbeknownst to the quaint population of this sleepy fishing village resting somewhere off Ireland’s coast. First, some fishermen go missing. Then there is the rash of whale carcasses suddenly washing up on the beach. When the murders start, it’s up to two mismatched cops—an irresponsible alcoholic and his new partner, a by-the-book woman from the mainland—to protect the townsfolk from the giant, bloodsucking, tentacled aliens that prey upon them. Their only weapon, they discover, is booze. If they want to survive the creatures’ onslaught, everyone will have to get very, very drunk!
Grabbers hits on July 19th in theaters and on VOD.
