Directed by Jon Wright. Written by Kevin Lehane. Starring Richard Coyle, Ruth Bradley, Russell Tovey, Bronagh Gallagher, Lalor Roddy and David Pearse.
Plot: bloodsucking aliens wash up on the shore of a small Irish town and getting really, really drunk is the only way to survive them.
Something comes out of the sky and lands in the ocean. It kills three men on a fishing boat. Meanwhile, Ciaran O’Shea (Coyle), a cop, gets a new partner, Lisa Nolan (Bradley), that he doesn’t want. Then, something comes ashore and starts eating people on land and they have to work together to stop it. With the help of a doctor (Tovey) they discover that the alien beings won’t eat the very drunk. Hilarity ensues.
The effects are well done. It’s funny as hell. The rules were good. Everyone is likable. It was original, well-acted, and totally rewatchable. We loved this movie. It’s very ownable and we highly recommend a watch.
I suppose I could list my favorite movies here, but instead I'll give you a strange glimpse into what makes me TaraRomero.
1. My favorite place in the world is Atlantic City. The food, the smells, the beach - I love it all.
2. I am particularly good at crafting. Especially scrapbooking and cross-stitch.
3. I am mixed. My dad is black and my mom is white. I'm very proud of both sides of myself.
4. My favorite food is either the cheesesteak or the hoagie. Not the sub, not the grinder, the hoagie. Totally different experience.
5. I have a number of pen pals I write snail mail to. We exchange stickers and little gifts sometimes, too. I have an extensive sticker collection.
6. I just reconnected with my father after 15+ years. It's going great so far. I've missed him.
7. My brother is my best friend, hence the reason we do this together.
8. I don't have a favorite book. I like too many to have a favorite. But Paul Zindel is my favorite author. Stephen King and Jane Austen are close seconds. I know, eclectic.
9. I'm not very religious at all. I consider myself agnostic.
10. I would say that my most prized possessions are my dogs, but I don't consider them possessions. I consider them people. They are my people.
