If you’re a fan of the horror/comedy genre, there’s a new one on the horizon, straight out of Ireland. “Grabbers” debuted its new trailer this week, and it promises loads of monster slaughter and beer guzzling.
If you’re also a fan of the old British TV series “Coupling,” you might recognize a familiar face — Richard Coyle, who played Jeff on that series. That alone should make it worth checking out, even if a splash of comedy in your horror isn’t your usual cup of tea. While Coyle has gone on to roles in big Hollywood productions like “Prince of Persia” and Madonna’s “W.E.,” he stole the show on the BBC series.
The premise revolves around an alien invasion and the only way for humans to protect themselves from having their bodies taken over? Stay drunk. Does that scream “Irish cinema” or what?
