Press:

"Shaun of the Dead lurks at the back of this likable and technically impressive Ireland-set comedy-horror"

- Peter Bradshaw - The Guardian

"A near-irresistible Friday-night-out monster picture in the tradition of Lake Placid or Tremors, with a boozy Irish charm that makes it a distinctive addition to the catalogue of alien invasions."

- Kim Newman - Empire

"Could Grabbers be the best alien invasion comedy ever? Very possibly."

- Sarah Dobbs - Den of Geek
