Grabbers
Movie • 2012 • Comedy
ReportSomething 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!

The monsters are toothy and slimy, and heads do roll, but actual blood & gore is light. No lingering close-ups or show-offy gross effects.

Many dead whales are shown in the beginning of the film; sheep/farm animals implied to be killed off-screen (mentioned only).

Not by humans, but the alien does throw sheep (off-screen/not shown) to try to break down a door/wall.

Garda Nolan falls down the stairs a moment after she says "I'll be alright." She is, in fact, alright.

Not precisely, but there's a comment made along those lines. One person says "Is there some fella in there doing his makeup or something?" in reference to a long line for the bathroom.

There are no characters explicitly shown to be LGBT but the character played by Russell Tovey (who is gay in real life) does die.

As Garda O'Shea shouts "Lisa! Lisa, stop now! stop!" Garda Nolan crashes into a pile of dirt. Both of them are fine, and there's no one else involved in the crash.
