geralts Tremors is a great guilty pleasure and one of my favorites but this is a genuinely well made film. Kevin Bacon stars as a handyman in the middle of nowhere, the town perfectly titled "perfection". This small town is suddenly terrorized by giant underground bugs which leads to a bunch of everyday men trying to get rid of these menaces. The practical effects are absolutely stunning and the pace and light heartedness of the story is a triumph. This is one of the finest guilty pleasure films which, believe it or not went on to become a franchise.

sme_no_densetsu Believe it or not, there have been six "Tremors" movies to date, with the latest one being released just this year. There was also a short-lived TV series and a recent reboot (starring Kevin Bacon) that unfortunately seems to have stalled at the pilot stage. Not too bad for what was essentially the modern equivalent of a B movie. While the ongoing series may be a case of diminishing returns, the original movie is still entertaining after almost thirty years.The story takes place in the sleepy town of Perfection, Nevada. A couple of handymen, Val (Kevin Bacon) & Earl (Fred Ward), decide that they've finally had enough of their dead-end jobs and decide to skip town. However, their attempts to leave are sidetracked by strange occurrences that appear to be linked to some sort of underground creatures. Before long, they figure out exactly what they're up against and the tiny population of Perfection is forced to fight for their survival.The premise may be a fairly simple one but the core idea is pretty neat. Having creatures lurking underground provides a great foundation for suspense. In fact, the movie plays almost like "Jaws" on land. There's a bit of scientific background given for the creatures but their origin is wisely left up to the viewer. More than anything, I'd say that the movie is nicely reminiscent of 1950's monster movies like "Them!"From a visual standpoint, the movie is surprisingly well done. In a movie like this, the special effects can make or break the entire movie. I'm glad to say that the practical effects are expertly handled and still look good even today. While not everything is completely convincing, there's some very impressive work here for a modestly budgeted horror movie.The cast is also one of the movie's strengths. Kevin Bacon & Fred Ward made a good team and "Family Ties" star Michael Gross nearly stole the show as survivalist Burt Gummer. The movie also marked the film debut of Reba McEntire and she fit in well alongside Michael Gross. Lead actress Finn Carter may not be known for much else but she didn't seem out of place here by any means.Ultimately, "Tremors" proves itself to be an affectionate homage to monster movies of a bygone era. It's got lots of suspense but also a healthy dose of humour. Add in nifty special effects and an engaging cast and you've got an entertaining popcorn movie that's likely to appeal to more than just horror fans.

MonsterVision99 "Tremors" its a classic monster movie, its like a well made version of one of those low budget creature features, its very reminiscent of movies like "Them!" or any other giant insect B movie for that matter, but this one actually has some likable characters, amusing effects, nice acting, good pacing and its well directed.Its absurd and many things don't really make sense, not to mention that there are many ways of killing these things as they are inconsistent with how they attack, sometimes they are just underground but other times their head comes out of the ground, exposing themselves to people shooting them, whether these creatures get you or not depends solely on what the script says.Overall, its really a fun time, I cant really complain about this one, also, I love when movies like this have better characters than they should, I could watch a movie about these people without the monsters and still be entertained.

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
