An Exercise In Nonsense

n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Garda Lisa Nolan (Ruth Bradley) arrives at Erin Island in remote Ireland for a two week tour after battling the fast times of Dublin. Drunken Garda Ciarán O'Shea (Richard Coyle) is not happy at having the eager newcomer. It's a quiet place where nothing ever happens. Whales starts getting beached. People are getting grabbed. They find the multi-tentacled grabbers and their possible alcohol weakness. The problem is that everybody has to get stinking drunk.Richard Coyle is a charismatic lead. Ruth Bradley is a pretty foil to him. She's also a fun drunk. The duo probably needs a funny fat sidekick. The start is a little slow. It's more fun when the grabbers show up. It needs a bit more drunk humor. The monster is relatively good. This is a good creature feature with some comedy.

What's with the Irish Film Board of late, cranking out loads of low budget hits like this gem.A small time tale of fun with Irish stereotypes, but enough depth, good script, and good acting, and buckets of laughs to make it stand tall.A creature feature, sci-fi, horror, and comedy, even a bit of drama, you can't say you don't get your monies worth. And lots of well known TV and film faces for us UK people to spot.I see Richard Coyle in loads of stuff these days, especially sci-fi,he seems to be able to handle any genre you throw at him, and loved him in Coupling doing comedy.A mention to Russell Tovey who most will know from Being Human. He doesn't seem to be able to turn in a bad performance.The rest of the cast are fine. I dropped my score to 8 only due to some of the stereotype characters these films seem to feel are needed, maybe for the US market. The Quiet Man was a long time ago, move on.

Oh my days, this film is nuts, I am a fan of all things Irish, and when they do humour they know how to do it properly.Something has washed up along the stunning Irish coast, they turn out to be Pilot Whales, but what's caused this strange phenomenon? Big time cop Garda Lisa Nolan lands on the small community of Aran Island to offer support to casual cop Ciaran o'Shea. The locals soon start disappearing, in monstrous fashion. And not long before it's full scale mayhem.I've become a huge fan of Russell Tovey, the guy can do it all, he is so funny, but Richard Coyle and Ruth Bradley make a fantastic double act.The humour is so good, it's so funny and the effects are considering it's a B movie, well put together. The backdrop of the grabber against a pub full of drunken Irish villagers is class.I fear this will be one of those films not enough people will get to see, it's well worth a look.

I watched this film last night and was very disappointed. It is pitched as a comedy/horror but there are almost no scary or funny parts in the whole film.The storyline is a well-trodden path for this type of low budget B- movie and will be familiar to anyone who has watched this type of film before: small community under attack from some nameless horror has to band together to defend themselves. Unfortunately this film brings nothing new to the table and pales in comparison to other films in this genre like Shaun of the Dead.If you think Irish people getting drunk is hilarious then you will love this movie but other than a few funny quips by the fisherman there are no big jokes or laugh-out-loud moments in the whole film. If the horror made up for the lack of comedy this would be okay but it doesn't, the monsters look okay but there are very few edge-of-the- seat moments or suspense to keep you interested.A horror/comedy can still be good if it's not scary but it is funny or it's not funny but it is scary but if it's neither then what's the point?
