Grabbers gets a release date

Grabbers is finally getting a cinematic release. It’s taken a bit of time, but we’re pretty sure it's going to be worth the wait. After being in distribution limbo for a while, Element pictures have picked up the distribution rights for the movie that was recently described as “feckin brilliant” in the Edinburgh Reporter.

Grabbers will open the Galway Film Fleadh on July 10th and will go on general release from August 10th!

Synopsis: Directed by Jon Wright, GRABBERS tells the story of Ciarán O’Shea, a charming but heavy-drinking local Garda who is tasked with greeting Lisa Nolan, a straight-laced young officer who has just arrived to a small fishing village off the West coast of Ireland. Not that there’s much for them to do, aside from dealing with the occasional drunk, and that’s usually O’Shea himself. But strange doings are afoot: the crew of a fishing boat disappears, whales start appearing dead on the shore, a local lobsterman catches a strange tentacled creature in his trap. Soon it becomes clear to Garda O’Shea and Nolan that there’s something big out there, and that it’s hungry. It’s time to rally the villagers, arm the troops…and head to the pub!

Released: August 10th
