Tremors is actually two movies in one. On its own terms, it's an enjoyable modern sci-fi horror-thriller, with good pacing and a sense of humor; but it's also a loving tribute to such 1950s low-budget... read more

Big fun B-movie as underground monsters terrorize a small desert town. Thick with good ole boy charm and whimsy its simply just plain great for families as survival is something that only happens with everyone's help. Michael Gross and Reba McIntire are standouts as Tea Partiers... read more

A backwater town is stalked by giant underground creatures intent on gobbling up its inhabitants. Ron Underwood's affectionate homage to and parody of the Hollywood creature feature was a big enough hit to warrant a trio of straight to DVD sequels, mainly because of it's light-he... read more

My opinion still stands: this is one the greatest monster movies Hollywood has ever come up with. A wonderfully entertaining blend of humor, action and otherwordly horror. It also works as the perfect argument for why you don't need a bunch of CGI-effects to make a good monster f... read more

Tremors is a funny and increasingly entertaining movie. Kevin Bacon and Fred Ward are perfectly cast as friends Val and Earl. Has to be one of the better creature features out there. The only knock on it is that Reba McEntire has a role.

I don't remember why exactly, but when I saw this as a kid, I thought it was stupid. I may give it another try, though, since I don't really remember it.

This is a relatively standard B-Movie creature feature, but the effects are cool, and the performances are fairly decent. This is tons of fun, and very entertaining. It defeinitely merits a few watches.

Tastes so bad going down but feels so good going in... Full Review
a fun b-movie flicka
A flawless B-movie about giant, underground worm creatures
A 90's comedy-horror film with 50's B-movie panache Full Review
Campy fun if you're ready for it
A high-end horror film, very clever, funny and scary.
Pleasantly regressive big monster flick.
The pinnacle of recent B-monster movies. It's what Eight Legged Freaks wants to grow up to be.
The blueprint for how to do projects like this right: care about your material, but don't lose your sense of humor.
