Shot glasses at the ready as I review the 1990 horror comedy classic, Tremors, starring Keving Bacon and Fred Ward.

Two protagonists that are just normal people? A woman who helps without overshadowing the others, or being seen as a TnA attraction (despite spending a portion of the movie without pants)? Side characters that are quirky, realistic, and human, not punchlines or political movements? A monster that is imposing, threatening, and intelligent without being sentient (like a real life animal)? I love this damn movie.

And realistic diversity for the region. It literally could be a bunch of people from from any small town in the SW US, from California to Texas. It's also somewhat timeless, as outside a few subtle geopolitical references and vehicles it could take place anywhere from the 70s to the early 00s.

It's a movie I've watched multiple times and still remember, even if it's been years since I last watched it. At first glance Tremors looks like a very simple fun flick of the turn-off-your-brain-and enjoy-the-sillyness type, but it doesn't take very long until you realise that's it's actually very carefully set up, a lot of thought has been given to each detail and it therefore has surprising depth. If you take away the obvious silly monsters, you're totally willing to believe that this could actually be some random small town in the middle of a scarcely populated area in the US, populated by believably every day people, because like you said they actually behave like real people. Even the survivalists aren't the stereotypical over-the-top gunslinging anti-government NRA worshippers modern day movies love to show, but people who are simply, if in a very tongue-in-cheek way, overly prepared to deal with anything that might come at them.

She isn't a magical movie scientist that has a PhD in seismology but knows everything about Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Medicine, Astronomy, Quantum mechanics, Engineering and every other field imaginable.

The escalation of that scene is amazing, from the tension building of them trying to warn them on the radio, Burts cut off "Jesus Chri-!", would have been a good horror film kill scene on it's own, like with the doctor and his wife earlier, and is expected that the smug asshole Burt has kind of been thus far would meet his fate here. But nope, it turns into the point in the movie where the characters realize it's possible to beat these monsters.

It’s beautifully done. The sounds of panic, broken off suddenly, on the CB radio. Val and Earl, and the rest on the rooftop, physically sinking in disappointment that their compadres have been finished off too... Then bodily those stranded on the roof rise slowly, at the sounds of gunfire popping off, far away, while the camera lingers on the seeming quiet of Burt and Heather’s house, above ground, in the distance... Before we’re taken into the action going down in their recc room. (and that zoom out to the 500 Nitro Express elephant gun in the glass case is masterful!) It’s been many years since I’ve seen the flick but the fact I can recall it so easily shot-by-shot is what great movies are made of.

Tremors is one of the few horror franchises with no truly awful sequels, the second one was a great sequel, even though it didnt had Kevin Bacon. The third one is kinda bad but has some redeemable moments, the fourth one is an actually great prequel that sheds some light into not just the Gravoids, but also the characters of the first movie whitow getting too much into it and the fifth one may be a generic sequel done to keep the rights of the franchise, but is decent enough to enjoy in a lazy Saturday afternoon when you want to watch a dumb movie that requires only two of your brain cells to enjoy.

If Tremors was made today the monster would be pure CGI from the Thirty Cents Or Less Bargain Bin of CGI. The characters would be personality clones of each other. It would be so bland as not to be offensive yet not so good that you would buy a copy from the Almost Free Movie Bargain Bin. As for the guns... chances are they too would be CGI. Their sound effects? Only the very best of what using a rubber band against a drum can offer. The Hollywood studio that would produce this hysterically godawful Tremors movie would say it massively overran budget by twenty four cents. It would never get any sequels since it would only make maybe four cents at the Box Office.

And for some reason there will be a cute kid and an old N.A. medicine man with cataracts who can do prophesies or something, and somebody might get a very spiritual tattoo and the Patriarchy loses and is shamed by 56 pronouns coming together in a diversity hire cheer for social justice and the power of unity except for white males who both literally and with phallic symbolism get eaten by their own worms.

Saw this at the movies kind of by accident (the movie we wanted to see was sold out) and have absolutely loved it ever since. I can't say how many times I've watched it. It's one of those movies that, if you're channel surfing and you come across it you're in for the rest of the movie, if it just started or it there's only ten minutes left. And the characters are all perfect. Bacon and Ward play off each other perfectly. Ward; "is this any kind of work for an intelligent man?" Bacon; "I don't know, show me one and I'll ask him." And Finn Carter as the grad student was brainy, funny, and pretty hot all at the same time. All without having to prove that she was smarter than the men...even though she pretty much was. She's one of my all time favorite female characters. Michael Gross and Reba McIntyre also played perfectly off of one another and nailed their characters. I never get tired of watching Tremors, if you haven't seen it first WHY? Second, it's the perfect movie night popcorn movie, you'll be happy you finally saw it and will immediately be thinking about watching it again. I actually envy you the experience of seeing it for the first time.

No one knew what to make of it at the time. It was too multi genre for a studio to know how to sell it. What also helped its cult status was that it was about the perfect length for cable channels to kill 2 hours on a weekend. There are many mid 80's- mid 90's that acquired fan bases largely due to cable tv needing plug and play filler.

They say every scene should add something to the plot. Tremors does this perfectly adding some detail or background that adds to the film not distracts from it. Real lightening in a bottle.

Just decided to rewatch this today and it's still frikkin amazing. It has actual characters with personalities! I forgot what those were like.

I love how all the characters in this movie can have different and conflicting views on things, but will still work together and be very effective when the chips are down. And even some of the lesser, secondary characters often contribute in some way.

One of my favourite series of all time. Tremors 1, 2 and 4 being the cream of the crop.
