Grabbers (Jon Wright, 2012)

Bloodsucking aliens get busy on a one-pub Irish island and the besieged locals discover that the only thing that puts the tentacled beasties off devouring them is to get sozzled. Much broad drunken hilarity and splattering ensues. This is a likable enough film which makes the most of its micro-budget and crams in many cheeky nods to all its survival horror ancestors, Tremors perhaps being the closest point of comparison. Accusing it of perpetuating alcoholic Irish stereotypes would be pointless: it's far too throwaway and good-natured for any such critiques.
