"Jaws" in the Sand
4 Stars = ClassicThis is just a good old fashioned giant monster movie, or you could call it," Jaws" in the sand. It is also a buddy film, a comedy, & a hell of a good time!"Tremors" is filled with great special effects that still hold up well today. It's giant carnivorous worms are original to say the least, but these worms eat the fisherman, as they attack anything making vibrations on the ground, like Great White sand sharks! This makes for some very good suspenseful moments!"Val" (Kevin Bacon) & "Earl" ( the very underrated Fred Ward) make for the buddy part of the film, & have great chemistry playing off one another, with funny lines, bickering, & superior acting, you'd think these two had been friends for years. They really make this movie work, along with a great cast of character actors, playing misfits, in a misfit desert village (I don't think it quite qualifies as a town) , way off the asphalt path. Especially good are Michael Gross & Rebecca McEntire, as a married couple that are survivalists, armed to the ears waiting to wage war, but not the kind they think.All in all, "Tremors" is a classic up date of giant mutated monster movies of the 50's. It's funny flowing script, it's superior acting, editing, direction, & lastly, it's great special effects will make any monster movie lover happy! Just don't feed the worms."Tremors" 1990[...]
