Tremors Review

Buy the Tremors Anthology on Amazon via my referral link: amzn.to/2wC7PQD
Possibly the best known monster movie of the 1990s, Tremors harkens back to the classic monster movie formula from the studio responsible for so many classic monster movies.. Universal. Sure, their robot hit this with a copyright claim before I even got a chance to finish writing the description, but let's not hold that against them. The important thing is we have giant killer worms burrowing underground, death.. destruction.. and Kevin Bacon!

Reason why this movie is actually amazing is the fact they make it believeable.

[@meuriellahall6201]

true. i think the canceled tv show was.. weird. you can still buy the existing episodes on dvd. it's cgi was pretty bad in some parts.

[@madzoroark5396]

@@meuriellahall6201 yeah, but it's still an interesting concept for a show.

[@meuriellahall6201]

@@madzoroark5396 Yeah i loved the idea, just that it didn't fit too much in tremors to me. edit: my first comment had little to do with the comment im commenting on and just saying i didn't enjoy the show as much as the movies, why did i comment that.

[@silverfish1924]

I mean, the people are believable, they act like a real small town but with the Worm from the Precambrian, it lessens the reality but I get the point.

[@The101Point1]

@@meuriellahall6201 cgi was bad but most of plot and scripts were good

[@Aprion]

Nice review. One of the strengths of this movie is that the majority of the characters are actually 'likeable'. Most horror movies have a cast made up of handful of douchebags, which makes you root for the monster to kill em of fast so you wont have to listen to them spout their verbal diahrrea anymore. About the only character in tremors to provoke that reaction is Melvin.

[@TheFunniBaconMan]

All the characters pale in comparison to Burt and Heather. That is one badass couple.

[@zerrodefex]

Burt Gummer is one of the very few times that movies have portrayed a "gun nut" character in a positive light.

[@kissarococo2459]

That's why Speilberg made the caharacters of Jaws likeable even if they were not perfect. The audience wants to root for guys they know.

[@Tazkar]

Also they don't seem to realize that making the characters likeable actually makes a horror movie scarier. Because you start worrying about their safety rather than as you say rooting for the monster/bad guy to kill them because they're all assholes anyway. Will say even Melvin is more likeable than most horror movie casts. He's just a snot nosed kid at this point, irritating but not really doing to much to make you actively wish he would die.

[@meuriellahall6201]

I never thought about how most people in horror movies are bad people... in pumpkinhead the reason why there all being killed is the douchebags killed a child by acident and just left him there to die. i think the only one who desrves to live in pumpkinhead is the one who tried to keep the child alive.

[@mernyr]

'Til this day i can still hear Kevin Bacon screaming "HEY!!! I FOUND THE ASS END!!!!"

[@ToxicDust13]

I've always been so envious of that gun wall.

[@zerrodefex]

That is one of the best scenes of all, it's also nice to look back at this film at a time when a firearms enthusiast wasn't always portrayed so negatively.

[@majorleaguezombie796]

my cousin has a wall of Nerf Guns, so that's the only thing that is close to something as cool as that.

[@Briaaanz]

I didn't realize that Kevin Bacon was not happy when he got this role, it's such a classic flick!

[@AnActualDimetrodon]

I got incredibly excited when I saw this in my sub box! Tremors is one of my favorite movies.

[@mrlefttesticle8121]

i dont know, tremor has some pretty shitty moves and combos

[@grandmasterblueberryice4882]

Mr Left Testicle are u kidding? his combos are dope

[@ShadowFox178]

Remember kids speed doesn't kill, however suddenly going from fast to not moving does kill.

[@amanibob1416]

ShadowFox178 'This called "impact" and "impulse", not to mention whiplash, concussion and destruction by centrifugal inertia... Ps: All hail the Roadrunner, ( vs Coyote), cartoons!

[@peterstoric6560]

The creator, forgot who but I remember this, said the inspiration for the movie came when he was on a big rock/boulder in the desert and thought “what if there was something that wouldn’t let me get off”. This obviously made it into the film with the scene they are stuck in the boulder. Got to say this is one of my all time favorite movies

[@jamesroper4952]

I love this movie, I can never get enough of the original movie. Kevin Bacon steals the show, no matter what movie he's in. Hell, even the second one is alright. Everything beyond that point however, well I started losing interest when the ass blasters were introduced. On a side note, the college girl may not be a super model. But she isn't bad looking either.

[@BigBWolf90]

I'd have to say Michael Gross does a damn good job of being memorable as well as Fred Ward. They're characters shine right alongside Kevin's and have great dialog that makes them believable. Yeah you're right. Especially when you get to see the legs but also she's got a great personality that most likely beats out the supermodel Valentine was hoping for

[@sirchris6047]

Imagine thinking 2 is better than 4

[@SpecialOrder935]

You gotta admit that Ass Blasters is a cool name 😂

[@danieldoesdumbstuff]

I'd still hit.

[@dr.sunshineproductions8824]

[@ghostface1529]

7:02 I love how larry(yes his name is Larry along with carmite both are the names goven to these useless characters in the final credits) actually picks up a crowbar and shakes it like he's found a new weapon in case they are telling the truth he's only there as a red shirt and purely meant to be killed to advance the plot but that little detail can't go unnoticed

[@captainthrall]

Mr Shado, the way you kept comparing this movie to an RPG game with sidequests was absolutely brilliant. I loved it. Thank you very much for this maximum level of nerd entertainment.

[@lochmon4158]

If i may make a suggestion i would go with octrember

[@yokaihollow589]

4:03 Sounds like Decker is giving someone a sidequest in a borderlands game.

[@The101Point1]

Incorrect fallout

[@iragantt6516]

I think there is something you missed in the thing. When the doctor was examining the dogs he Taps is eraser on the tip of the nose of one of the dogs and he pulls away you can see him teeny tiny blood spot and then in the next scene he's got the Eraser in his mouth. Me and my friends believe this is how he became the thing.

[@nugsovile4333]

The tremors movies are nostalgic for me even though I wasn't even born in the early 80s or 90s, I would head up to my uncle's for Hunting Season and we would watch the first 4 tremors films in order from beginning to end. My uncle would try to guess who was going to die and then he would get upset when his fav character would die. His fav film was Tremors 4, only because he though Black Hand Kelly was awesome. Good times.

Originally, Val and Earl were going to be the center of the movie/TV series, traveling around the country and encountering different kinds of strange monsters. But, Kevin Bacon decided he was too big a star for that.

[@laughingpumpkinking1662]

It took me this long to find someone who has done the Tremors movies?!

[@jacknapier8201]

You know... I can't think of another horror movie where no one makes a dumb decision. I mean, you can chalk up the main two going back into town as just characterization of their loyalty to the town and that takes care of the real only bad choice in the film. Everything else is just what a person would actually do.

Fun story, back in 2001 I was working a music store in times square, Kevin Bacon came in with his son to buy some stuff. He was very cool. I told him that I love the movie Tremors and he was polite but still a little dismissive about it. Overall he was pretty cool though.

This movie is a good argument for why sometimes a PG13 monster movie is a good idea. It's a great movie for young monster fans to enjoy, I used to love it when I was a kid. A fantastic mix of scares and comedy, I love this movie.

11:20 A couple inches of concrete with rebar and iron mesh weave :P they are load bearing :D

[@SiegeTF]

I know I'm late, but that's not 'basically it'. One of the big twists of the series is that most of the characters react in a level-headed manner to what's going on, instead of playing hot potato with the idiot ball, turning on one another, trying to get in a quickie regardless of the threat not being gone, and all those other tried and tested monster movie tropes. This makes it almost a horror-comedy, particularly in Tremors 2.

[@joehall5807]

Tremors is the first monster movie I ever watched, and I saw it WAY too young, like 5. I really loved how having the monster underground let you play with the suspense during the day. I had NO idea that they released a 5th movie, but now that I am I HAVE to see it. Here's hoping that Decker will eventually get to the T.V. series.

Ahh... I'm getting somewhat nostalgic over this movie. I don't know why. It's not like it was innovative in any way and no one thing really stands out about it, but somehow all the elements coalesce into something endearing about the monster movie genre. It's simple and honest, not trying to be anything other than what it is, and executed with competence and care.

[@tdenzel101]

Actually it was unique for its time a giant sand worm wasn't expected but this movies made it terrorizing and honestly had me pick my feet off the ground.

12:44 I think a better idea would be that they go for whatever food is available, when it's available, even if they're not hungry. Lionfish will eat other fish until their stomachs are completely full and they have a fish or two hanging out of their mouths, for example. I'm pretty sure the one waiting them out knows they're there, and won't leave them alone unless something else comes by to capture its attention. Maybe that's why the guy stayed in the tower until he died of dehydration, who knows?
