Product: Tremors (1990)
Rating: 5.0
Classic Comedy Monster Film
This film has been around for some time and there are probably quite a number of previous reviews. 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. Their attempts to leave the small community for better opportunities elsewhere are thwarted by the activities of the monsters. The addition of a suvivalist couple, played to the hilt by Michael Gross and Reba McEntire, takes the humor over the top. 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.
