Tremors is a masterpiece. It's a perfect blend of genuine comedy and genuine horror - as a kid, I was as terrified as I was delighted. I wonder sometimes if Tremors was beat out (in terms of influencing my own storytelling) by Indiana Jones alone.

Oh hell yeah, it may not be the "best" movie, but it's one of those "perfect" movies. The dialogue is so tight, there's so many little and large set ups and payoffs, and the movie never oversteps or underplays on its bounds. It does everything it sets out to do and does it well.

One thing about this movie I love is the almost seamless use of animatronics and miniatures for the Graboids. For example the scene in the rec room? Yeah, a lot of really good miniature work. That whip-pan from the rifle being dropped up to the graboid is a perfect swap from the life-size people, a normal rifle-to-cut with the miniature rifle then the small puppet graboid. Love this movie. Top tier comedy, light horror, and filmmaking

The practical effects in this movie are so remarkable for the low-to-mid-level budget that this movie had at the time. They make the movie so much more immersive and help it age gracefully. And, you're absolutely right. Fred Ward and Kevin Bacon have great chemistry together and hold down this movie's emotional through-line from beginning to end.

"whatever birthed that thing, why?" Tremors II: Aftershocks answers that. The series is decently consistent with the lore. It was filmed a few hours north of Joshua Tree. Up between Sequoia and Death Valley. Also note the little girl (on the pogo stick) is the same girl from Jurassic Park.

The Tremors series is such an uncompromised treat for monster fans. Each one elaborates on how the Graboid life cycle works, adding new monster designs in the process while following characters just as interested in learning about them as we are. Really speaks to the little kid in us that memorized all the different kaiju and their abilities in Godzilla movies.

Some of the meta things I love about this, disregarding the storyline/setting: The gore was plentiful, but it wasn't just messy liquid. It looked organic. There were chunks of stuff that looked like organs/body parts. Also, the leading lady isn't Sharon Stone, Julia Roberts, etc. She's attractive, but 'normal', but she's not some knockout model, and they don't shy away from making her the love interest.

What made it even better, is that it was chosen to not show the monster, or it's true scale, for quite some time, but show the carnage and destruction it was causing. Made it for a much more thrilling viewing.

I love how various scenes are set up. Like they're forced to leave the rocks, they run, and then the girl has to follow them with the lighter. Every bit just comes together. Like you suggested, it's kind of like a land version of Jaws. The most recent iteration of this movie (good lord... 7) is mostly CGI and sure Burt is still in it, but it just lost some of the spirit and grit. Also, until my dying breath, I will say that Burt escapes to island solitude after the last movie. If something didn't happen on camera, it didn't happen. ;-)

One neat instance of foreshadowing I just recently learned about is at the beginning of the film. When Val is bouncing the truck and yelling "Stampede!" Earl crawls and falls off the back of the truck and he looks similar to a Graboid. Very similar to how they kill the last Graboid by luring it to the cliff and having it fall out the side of it to it's death. So many amazing little details in this movie. They're not brothers, they're hetero life partners. I love the chemistry between the two. Another neat little instance of foreshadowing was when Earl says "Edgar get your butt down from there!" and later he says that to Melvin but he stops himself realizing what's happening and that a Graboid attack is imminent. Love this movie so much.

This film, as others have already said, is a masterpiece; it sets up relationships, establishes the Graboids (what they can do re: waiting, digging, etc), and foreshadows so much of what happens - the ending (Stampede! right at the start), Mindy, what happened to Walter with the cooler & so much more. A part that I particularly like was how the writers had Rhonda deal with Val & Earl bickering & not listening to her suggestion on the rock, no complaining or moaning, just straight into action & showing that it works.

They were in the Navy, 5 years before the movies release, they were sitting on a large Boulder in a Nevada Test Site, taking notes, and one of them said, "What if there was something under the ground that would never let us off this rock?" And thus, TREMORS was born.

Plus the way every time they ramp up the tension, it flows entirely naturally and logically from the previous scene.

I watched this when I was a kid in the 90s, I was snuggled up in the couch pretending to be asleep and my dad put it on and I secretly watched it. One of the first "scary movies" I ever saw. A classic.

One thing about the sound in this movie is pretty subtle yet genius, before they know that the graboids react to sound everyone is unintentionally making noise and whenever a scene ends the next scene begins with a loud noise. Love this movie, whenever its on TV you just have to watch it

Tremors is one of several movies that does well what horror movies need to do to "be believable". It has great REAL LIFE activities and dialogue. The pack of smokes stands out to me as a key moment.

This is such a great, fun film! I wouldn’t say it’s a masterpiece, but it’s a BLAST and it is very VERY well made overall.

One of the best scenes in this movie on rewatch is the scene where they go back to the doctor's house, the lingering shot of them walking around making tons of noise, once you watch, you know how much danger they are putting themselves in.

One of the fun things of these movies is that the actor who plays Burt Gummer used to play Michael J Fox's dad in the sitcom "Family Ties", they filmed this around "Lone Pine" and Darwin California

I highly recommend watching the Kill Count about this one (from the Dead Meat channel here on KZbin). Oddly enough it's the first Kill Count ever where the creator and host James A. Janisse doesn't host it (due to his wedding) but his longtime contributor and editor Zoran, who just so happens to be a giant Tremors fan, guest-hosts and goes through a ton of the trivia and behind-the-scenes for this movie. So much creativity in the practical effects, it's just amazing and fantastic work. Practical effects are a lost art and these guys are wizards at it on a limited budget.

I feel like this is one of the most believable scifi horror movies. From the concept itself to the acting/characters.

What makes this movie work is that characters aren't stupid. Horror is so much better when the characters are making smart choices and still being killed. And the comedy is just hilarious.

I've spent soooo much time riding and backpacking the area where this was filmed. I always think to myself that the 13 year old me who loved this movie growing upnwould never believe I would spend much of my recreational time living in the same spots. Magic of movies. Go visit Alabama Hills if you've never been and explore the 395 along the Eastern Sierras.

I didn't hear a word about this movie until it came out on TV. I must have run into it about 1996, and was blown away. It seemed like a made for TV movie budget-wise, but it's a great movie.
