Review of Tremors (1990) by Duana R — 16 Nov 2018
Tremors is a very well executed, well-made B movie. Fred Ward and Kevin Bacon are two handymen in the middle of nowhere town Patience, Nevada. Fed up when we meet them, they decide to head out for better opportunities when they come across a dead body.
This leads to the discovery of another body and the revelation of the presence of an underground snakelike creature (called graboids) that is the cause of all this chaos- and there are a few of them. What ensues is a war between the tiny populace of this insignificant, socially isolated town and the terrorizing slithers.
Tremors does not take itself seriously, provides ample amount of entertainment because of great, relatable characters and the endearing leading pair of Bacon and Ward. Pacing is excellent, and the special effects are so good it makes me wonder why real puppetry and models are not used to the scale it used to be- CGI has overstayed its welcome and films like Tremors prove live action work has not.
This is a fantastic film. Watch it.
