Watch those tentacles...
I remember back when I saw the part where the Graboid pulled that big truck with the lady inside under the ground, when I was only three years old. It scared the heck out of me and I've always been freaked by TREMORS until I watched it two years ago. I thought it was awesome! The sound of giant man-eating worms that hunt underground by vibration really appeals to me! :) And those cool tentacles that grab onto you really add to the Graboids' appearance. I loved the ways they killed the four Graboids, although if it was my movie I would've made ten Graboids. By the way, the cast was awesome. A perfect group of average people on a ranch fighting for survival. Listed below are the ways they killed the Graboids. Don't read them unless you want the movie spoiled for you.1) Val (Kevin Bacon) and Earl (Fred Ward) are running like crazy out in a field to get away from this worm and they jump into a ditch with walls around. The worm is blind so it doesn't see the wall coming and smashes into it, killing it.2) Burt and Heather Gummer are in their basement and Burt is stubborn to understand Val telling him to get up on their roof. This next scene, I thought, was intense! The Graboid crashes into the basement and Burt and Heather continue to shoot at him with all different kinds of rifles. Then Heather throws a small fiery thing into its mouth and Burt shoots it one last time and it's dead.3) I thought this way to kill, created by Earl, was very clever. The whole group is on a rock. To get the Graboid's attention, they throw rocks out on the ground. When they know he's there, Earl attaches one of Burt's bombs to a rope and lassoes it out into the field. The monster swallows it and explodes.4) Val, Earl, and Rhonda are frozen out in the field, making no vibrations. The others urge Val to use the last bomb, but he refuses. Then he takes off running to the edge of the cliff. He stops and lights the bomb. You can figure out by watching that Val purposely misses the Graboid when he throws the bomb. Earl and Rhonda take off. Val jumps out of the way and the worm crashes through the canyon wall (similar to Number 1) and falls to his death.I thought this movie was incredible and I enjoyed every minute of it. It never gets boring! I suggest you rent it sometime.
