This is truly a 100% Irish film, and heavy on the stereotypes, but with good nature humor. A meteor falls into the ocean off this island, and there are creatures in it. They attack a fishing boat, and it is done without really revealing what the creature is. Meanwhile, one of the local police (garda) is going on vacation, and Lisa comes to the island to cover. She is a strict by the book person, and the other garda person is Ciaran, an alcoholic. There is also a marine scientist, somewhat flippant, Adam Smith. Some pilot whales beach up, and they had lacerations but Smith says they got cut up by the rocks as they washed ashore. One of the fishermen finds a small creature in a lobster trap that he puts in his bathtub. Bad idea, as the creatures like water and blood.. It grows, attacks, and he manages to kill it and takes it to the scientist who says it seems alien, but not from out 'there'. It is not big, but is female, and that means there is much larger creature out there, the male. And naturally, it starts to rain. There are eggs and newly hatched creatures are done very well, and also funny. And they discover while the creatures like blood, alcohol is a poison to them, so one can guess how to protect oneself. There is some good comedy, but it is also done fairly well so one does not feel their time was wasted. It seems open to a sequel. The movie is not a deep or probing monster movie. Just some silly fun.
