Grabbers Reviews
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
Off to the pub!
NPR
Ian Buckwalter
Wright checks off the expected genre boxes with the gleeful mischief of a gremlin trashing a plane engine.
AV Club
Sam Adams
The tough thing about genre hybrids is that they have to fulfill both genres, and Grabbers only nails one of them.
RogerEbert.com
Ben Kenigsberg
The movie never aspires to be more than a cookie-cutter creature feature-the kind of film that can be washed back with a pint and then forgotten in the morning.
Oregonian
Marc Mohan
Recommended only for those peering through the thickest of beer goggles.
The Dissolve
Noel Murray
The biggest issue with Grabbers is that it's more slick than squirmy. Aside from a few good low-fi gross-out scenes ... Grabbers has the look and style of a big-budget action epic, not a scrappy little indie-horror.
The Playlist
Jessica Kiang
Perfect fodder for a late-night audience, UK/Irish co-production Grabbers, directed by Jon Wright, is a fun ride, and while it doesn't reinvent the "Tremors" and Slither modern-b-movie wheel, it adds a few neat touches to that formula.
Slant Magazine
Drew Hunt
Good, clean genre entertainment, the sort of harmless yet endearing brand of moviemaking seemingly unattainable in today's Hollywood system.
Gone With The Twins
Mike Massie
Drinking and acting stupid are activities better suited for stereotypical teenagers.
Variety
Dennis Harvey
A polished, watchable genre entertainment that nonetheless lacks the inspired dialogue and situations needed to make a memorable impression.
IONCINEMA.com
Nicholas Bell
Intentionally goofy, and drearily written, your reception of the film will all depend on how high you set your stakes.
TheHorrorShow
Scott Weinberg
A group of Irish villagers have to stay drunk to keep alcohol-fearing alien monsters at bay. Yup.
Projected Figures
Anton Bitel
an Irish tentacular Tremors - an icky creature feature with the emphasis on comedy and character, ending (not unlike Shaun of the Dead) in a riotous pub booze-up, with human romance amidst all the extra-terrestrial reproduction.
We Got This Covered
Matt Donato
Out of all the bad decisions you've drunkenly made, one viewing of Grabbers makes up for the lot of them. With or without beer goggles, Jon Wright's film is equally entertaining - and without any regrets the following morning!
Tribune News Service
Roger Moore
A traditional creature feature with a touch of the "diddley aye."
