LATE NIGHT SCREENING: Grabbers (2012, IRL/UK)
FRI 24 AUG 22.00
COMEDY/ SCI-FI/ THRILLER

Darklight are hosting a thrilling outdoor screening of Grabbers at Grand Canal Dock. Using Bolands Mill as a giant projection screen with silent disco headsets… you’ll be sitting right by the water at Waterways, so prepare to be properly spooked.

Cast and Crew will be in attendance!

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! Starring Richard Coyle (W.E, THE WHISTLEBLOWERS) and Ruth Bradley (LOVE/HATE, TITANIC) GRABBERS is a monster comedy from Irish screenwriter Kevin Lehane.
