Review of Tremors (1990) by F G — 17 Aug 2010
Does this movie suck? of course it does. that's why I like it. this movie doesn't take itself seriously at all and as such it is a very good and effective film. It is certainly the epitome of a B-grade horror film. If it tried to take itself seriously at all it would fail and I probably wouldn't have even heard of it. The acting in this film is sort of decentish. It's good enough to keep the story interesting and you don't get too annoyed with the characters. The screenplay fits the movie. It is dumb but in a charming sort of way I guess you could say. It had a sort of original storyline. It played it out very well. It was a very entertaining way to spend an hour and a half. It's a cute film.
TRIVIA TIME: 1. According to promotional material from the Sci-Fi Channel, the official scientific name of the Graboid is "Caederus mexicana".
2. S.S. Wilson said that he got the idea for the film while he was working for the US Navy in the California desert. While resting on a rock, he imagined what it might be like if something underground kept him from getting off the rock.
