About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a light, quirky Irish monster comedy where survival hinges on getting very drunk and the vibe is closer to Tremors-like fun; Not for you if you dislike drinking-centric humor or expect scares like a straight horror movie.
Pros: lots of laughs; inventive booze rule; entertaining creature feature | Cons: uneven dialogue; can feel slow; some find it predictable
