Big news today* as a new Irish horror-comedy movie is getting made here. It's called Grabbers and is about 'squid-like creatures from the sea'. For fu*k sake, haven't we made enough of these films already? Haven't we done enough 'damage' to Irish cinema with these wretched films? They're not horrific enough. They're not comic enough. No-one cares about these films. Horror fans don't care. Comedy fans don't care. No-one will pay money to see these titles. No-one will buy the DVD. When we can't make serious horror who in their right mind expects us to make 'irreverent comedy horror'. Cue the using acting 'talent' in this country playing their roles for laughs. Cue the extremely loud and inappropriate sound effects. Cue the complete unoriginality. Cue the complete sh*teness of the whole project. Cue the over-promotion and adverts everywhere. It'll be sh*te. Just like Boy eat girl was sh*te.
