Diagonaldi Very well executed

Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Leoni Haney Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

bmv582 Classic. Must have seen it 20 times! It's kind of like Jaws in the desert, but not really.

Iollann Mckeon Review: 'Tremors' Directed by Ron Underwood, 'Tremors' starring Kevin Bacon, Fred Ward and Finn Carter is a fun, sci-fi, horror/comedy film set in a rural, isolated town in America where residents have to defend themselves against strange, underground creatures. Released in 1990 it is known as a cult classic. 'Val' played by Kevin Bacon and 'Earl' portrayed by Fred Ward are two handymen who make a living off doing odd jobs in Perfection, Nevada a small, isolated settlement in the desert near the Sierra Nevada mountains. People begin to be picked off one by one by underground creatures. The film works well because it doesn't take itself seriously, has a simple story line that's easy to follow and it opts for laughs rather than scares. The most laughs come from the chemistry between best friends Earl and Val. Their acting made their chemistry so natural. The camaraderie between them is hilarious. The action in this film is exciting and frantic. The last half of the film is full of exciting moments and thrills. In so many of these types of films the characters seem to react very stupidly to situations but in this film the characters seem to actually react intelligently, the same goes for the creatures. As I said, the last half of the film is an intense thrill ride without a dull moment. The first half of the film is the build-up and it works pretty well, establishing the characters, relationships and the setting. This film shares lot of similarities with Steven Spielberg's 'Jaws'. Both films use similar techniques to build suspense, hiding the creatures from sight for a good portion of each film. Also they show the creature's point of view with some nice camera shots like in 'Tremors' it's almost like the camera is rushing through the dirt in the ground. Another reason I enjoy this film is because it isn't heavy on the CGI. I really dislike when films use CGI more than they should especially older films when the technology holds up. The fact that the effects still hold up today just goes to show it. The film isn't too gory either apart from a couple of moments, this works especially well with the light hearted atmosphere the film has. In conclusion 'Tremors' is an entertaining, fun film. Now it's not flawless, it's no 'Shawshank Redemption' it has a straight forward story with very little character development but that doesn't really matter too much in the end. The main reason it works is the chemistry between characters and the fact it doesn't take itself too seriously. I give it a 7/10 and I think it would be suitable for almost all ages to be honest.

nat_power My favorite low budget B-Horror movie of all time, and also my favorite film from Kevin Bacon(Sorry Footloose). The entire cast is great, especially Michael Gross who shines above everyone else as Burt Gummer(You can see why he was brought back for all 3 sequels). Granted the sequels suck(2 wasn't terrible but nowhere near as good as the first one, and the 4th one had some good moments.). I love the humor, action, and sci-fi elements mixed in, and of course the star of the movie is the Graboids, the huge worms that terrorize the humans in the film. Although I will admit the worms evolving in the later films is pretty cool but the characters of the last 2 just aren't as entertaining to watch on their own. Burt's character is good throughout every movie but he can't carry the films himself so when you lack good supporting characters it takes away from it greatly. Also it seemed the quality of the films actually went down as the films when along.

KineticSeoul I thought this was a decent monster movie that has fair amount of entertainment value. It's a monster movie that doesn't focus on the fear and gore elements but more on the fun elements. Where a group of people in Nevada that lives near a small desert area. Has to fight off giant worm like creatures underneath that eats humans. I think the idea came because of a group of kids playing a game where they have to stay on platforms. And away from touching the ground and the kids that touched the ground either becomes one of the infected or eliminated from the game. What this is, isn't a psychological terror or anything like that, but a fun filled movie with fun characters trying to survive. While also trying to fight back with the resources they have and outwit the giant man-eating worms. What I appreciate about this movie, is that although it might go slightly overboard. It doesn't try to be more than what it is. So if you want to watch a fun low-budget movie with a group of friends or even with the whole family, this one might lead to a somewhat enjoyable time.7/10
