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

A Tip of the hat monsters of the 1950's

Kevin Bacon and Fred Ward as Handymen Val and Earl. Rebba McIntyre and Michael Gross as survivalists "Broke into the wrong rec room, didn't ya." Spawning several sequels and a tv series, the first remains the best. Perfection was there ever a town more misnamed falls prey to a new species of creature from beneath the earth. It's a load of fun. A wonderful monster movie with more than a sense of humor. This film harkens back to the scifi monster flicks of the 1950's.

Classic Comedy Monster Film

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. 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. The addition of a suvivalist couple, played to the hilt by Michael Gross and Reba McEntire, takes the humor over the top. This film has been around for some time and there are probably quite a number of previous reviews. Their attempts to leave the small community for better opportunities elsewhere are thwarted by the activities of the monsters.

I still enjoy putting it on now and again. For me, the word "classic" means a movie that has stood the test of time. I believe "Tremors" has stood the test of time.
