'''''Grabbers''''' is a 2012 {{Irish|Media}} SciFiHorror comedy film.
A small Irish town has run into a problem. You see, they're Ground Zero for an AlienInvasion. The aliens here are aquatic creatures with many tentacles that love to drink blood. However, they have one weakness: Alcohol! Luckily, this town may not have many things, but it has a well-stocked pub! As an unusually high tide comes in, the residents of the town begin the pub crawl of their lives...
-----
!!This film contains examples of:
*TheAlcoholic:
**O'Shea gets completely plastered every night. In fact, he's such an alcoholic that [[spoiler:the film treats him not drinking for one night as major character development.]]
**Paddy is such a drunk that the other characters are convinced that getting as drunk as he regularly is will kill them.
*AntagonistTitle
*BigBad: The male grabber acts as head of the colony.
*TheEndOrIsIt: [[spoiler:The grabbers are destroyed in an explosion, except for a few eggs that were ignored. Last shot of the film is one of them hatching]]
*HostileWeather: The grabbers can only attack anybody on land if it's raining. Naturally, a gigantic rainstorm hits the village at the same time the creatures show up.
*MultipurposeTongue: The grabbers use their tongues both to capture their prey and drink its blood.
*OctopoidAliens: The grabbers are explicitly compared to vampire squids, due to being aquatic, tentacled creatures with blood-sucking tongues.
*OneWordTitle
*OurVampiresAreDifferent: These are aquatic, tentacled aliens who can't consume blood with a high alcohol content.
*ThePublicDomainChannel: ''Film/NightOfTheLivingDead1968'' is shown playing on TV in one scene.
*ARoundOfDrinksForTheHouse: Our heroes get everybody good, plastered and grabber-proof by offering free drinks at the local pub for the entire night.
*ShoutOut
**O'Shea watches a lot of ''Series/{{Columbo}}''.
**When rescuing O'Shea from the male grabber, Nolan paraphrases the famous line from ''Film/{{Aliens}}'', with an added helping of CountryMatters.
*VillainOpeningScene: The grabbers attacking a fishing boat.
