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.

hzegler I recently watched this movie again and was reminded of just how much fun it was. It is a real tripped-out story, with carnivorous worms or snakes that are living underground that get activated by some sort of seismic issue. The characters are really crazy fools but Fred Ward and Kevin Bacon do a really good job of playing into the circumstances and being just funny as can be.I think one of the elements that makes this movie work so well is that all the different characters come across as very real people all living their regular lives that just happen to be stuck in this two-bit town. They all are trying to deal with the situation as best they can and, well, stuff happens!There is a lot of action and a lot of gore, and there are a lot of killings. Some of them are so funny, the way they are done. I really do enjoy this movie, and I think, if for some reason you have not seen it yet, that you will really enjoy it as well.This is a movie that has been a classic for some time and is a fun way to spend a couple of hours.

Joshua Cimarric-Penczek Tremors should be a stupid movie. In Tremors, two wisecracking sidekick co-worker/friends are fed up with their hobunken redneck Nevada town and dream of heading to the big city, only to come across a herd of giant underground worms that are hungry for human flesh while moving out. The story is something an 8th grader would come up with, but two very talented writers adapted the story into a magnificent screenplay, and it was later adapted by a smart director and his brilliant crew.First of all, the dialogue between characters is realistic, catchy, and witty. Kevin Bacon and Fred Ward talk like real humans with lines that flow smoothly. Most of the characters are like this, but these two in particular share some brilliant chemistry. Second of all, the tension is flawless. While I do think some trimming could be done in order to keep the reveal of the monsters more shocking, what we have is still excellent and much better than most in its genre. The audience at any point never suspects that the mysterious events occurring around town could be because of a giant monster. Third, the pacing is magnificent. Only at around 90-minutes, the 1at, 2nd, and 3rd act are all very distinguishable and flow together very well. The two writers behind his screenplay are S.S. Wilson and Brent Maddock, and they deserve much more credit that what they get.Ron Underwood finely directs this film, taking obvious inspirations from John Carpenter and Sam Raimi along the way. There are several gorgeous wide shots of the deserts, something you'd print off and hang up on your wall. The sound design is also fantastic: the monsters locate prey by keying in on sounds or vibration. The movie is mostly silent except for loud bursts noise, and most edits cut from silence to loudness. It's genius attention to detail like this that make Tremors such an enjoyable experience.I'll never understand why this film doesn't get more love, even among 80's/90's nostalgia fanboys and monster movie lovers. You'll see entire tributes dedicated to mediocrity like Ghostbusters or Burton's Batman, but you'll be lucky to even see sentence written about Tremors. Tremors is everything a movie should be, and more monster movies should follow in vein of this 90's classic.
