Get ready for Tremors meets H.P. Lovecraft meets Gremlins!

Bloody Disgusting scored a first look at a trio of hi-res images from the Irish comedy horror Grabbers, two of which “tease” the creatures — personally, I’d rather be surprised than have them send us a bunch of photos ruining the look of the monster. You?

Helmed by Jon Wright and penned by Kevin Lehane, the creature feature stars Richard Coyle (Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time), Ruth Bradley (Flyboys) and Russell Tovey (The History Boys). It sees a sleepy Irish fishing village forced to fend off a blood-sucking sea creature with alcohol.

A man buys a Mogwai as a Christmas present for his son. The young boy is told to keep the pet away from water, out of the light and never to feed it after midnight. Inadvertently, the creature is dampened and almost instantly, produces half a dozen furry replicas of itself –which continue to multiply and turn the small town upside-down.
