Amazon.com: Who would have guessed that this clever, fast-paced creature feature from 1990 would become a beloved miniclassic worthy of its own Collector's Edition DVD? Tremors didn't actually break any new ground (even though its tunneling worm monsters certainly did), but it revved up the classic monster-movie formulas of the 1950s with such energetic enthusiasm and humor that it made everything old seem new again. It's also got a cast full of enjoyable actors who clearly had a lot of fun making the film, and director Ron Underwood strikes just the right balance of comedy and terror as a band of small-town rednecks battles a lot of really nasty-looking giant worms. The special effects are great, the one-liners fly fast and furious between heroes Kevin Bacon and Fred Ward (and yes, that's country star Reba McEntire packin' awesome firepower), and it's all done with the kind of flair one rarely associates with goofy monster flicks like this. Followed by a direct-to-video sequel (Tremors: Aftershocks), this horror thriller was given the deluxe treatment for its DVD release. Bonus features include an original "making-of" documentary, previously unseen video showing the creation of the worm-creatures, outtakes from the film, the original ending not shown in theaters, theatrical trailers, and a gallery of production photographs. If you're a fan, consider this a must-have disc! --Jeff Shannon
Classic Comedy Monster Film This film has been around for some time and there are probably quite a number of previous reviews. I rated the film as 5 stars because of the humor, the quality of the special effects at the time and the chemistry between the characters portrayed by Kevin Bacon and Fred Ward. As subterranean monsters strike from underground, somehow the responsibility of saving the residents of the small town falls on these two country-boy handymen. Their attempts to leave the small community for better opportunities elsewhere are thwarted by the activities of the monsters. The addition of a suvivalist couple, played to the hilt by Michael Gross and Reba McEntire, takes the humor over the top. The battle for survival includes the use of a riding lawnmower, a bulldozer, the survivalist's home made bombs and the concept of "stampede." A very entertaining film, which I watch over and over again.
A campy B movie that doesn't try to be anything but a campy B movie. I liked this movie. Why? Its fun, it's stupid, it's easy to watch as long as you put your brain on pause. The acting is laughably bad; everything about this movie is bad. So bad it's good. And I think that's the kind of monster movie they set out to make. Brilliantly horrid. Tremors is a great way to kill an evening if you're just looking for a campy monster movie that doesn't require you to think. I recommend a rental.
Gulp! Yep it's daybreak and the Garboids want to have Kevin Bacon for breakfast. Then suck down some sheep like you would suck an egg. These creatures will worm their way into your hart and wrap their way around your axle. This is a fun movie with all the standard horror elements including lots of "don't move", and one element that was not expected "Reba McEntire" with a huge gun. This movie is worth re-watching.
Pure cult nostalgia This movie is a classic!!! My favorite memory was renting this film when I was 12 and watching it 8 times in a row with my friend. I will never get tired of this movie. Every time its on TV I have to watch it. If you have never seen this film Kevin Bacon is at his best when he is saving people from giant man-eating worms.
A Classic! For me, the word "classic" means a movie that has stood the test of time. I believe "Tremors" has stood the test of time. I still enjoy putting it on now and again.
