It's the quiet places where all the mad shit happens.

Date: Tuesday 18th December
Film: Grabbers (2012)
Director: Jon Wright
Starring: Richard CoyleRuth Bradley and Russell Tovey
Running time: 01 hour, 34 minutes
Rating: 9/10

The second film in the Den of Geek double bill started with an intro to a room full of people I admire (don't forget, I had that hideous jumper on, for the shame). We found ourselves sat directly in front of John Landis and the Grabbers director; Jon Wright, writer; Kevin LeHane and one if it's stars; Russell Tovey. There was no pressure here for us to enjoy the film.

It's a good job it was bloody brilliant then.

The concept is simple. Alien lifeforms attack a small Irish island and the only way to protect yourself from being killed it to be drunk.

We laughed riotously from beginning to end, I jumped 20 foot high regularly (I really am pathetic when it comes to loud noises and things popping up as if from nowhere), and all in all we loved it.

Grabbers had a limited cinema release and is already out on DVD (I really should have updated this blog a bit sooner, stupid Christmas break). If you have the time, seek out a copy and enjoy.
