Tremors Review

[@ARuiz-eu3hk]

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.

[@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.

[@lukenydam3772]

If you need and don’t have it, you sing a different tune.

[@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.

[@mernyr]

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

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

[@invisiblejaguar1]

I remember watching this as a kid, scared to walk on the ground after :-p

[@kingcatnip2614]

same here haha i got the movie as a gift from my mom on vhs when i was around 8 or 9 not knowing what it was haha i still love it to this day, my mom is awesome

[@reckz420]

[@rugeruwu1529]

[@thegamewin100]

[@moonleafteaofthemonth]

Right? And then you watch jaws and you're scared to go in the water so...you just hole up in your room and pray you're safe lol.

[@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

[@alienonlsd3209]

It was also originally conceived of as land sharks but no joke they changed it because of the all popular SNL sketch, with that said I would have liked to have seen the graboids try to kill Burt by offering him a candygram at the door

[@chillin164]

this is one of my fav monster movie

[@GojiraSteve2019]

[@dr.sunshineproductions8824]

Its a fun flick....but it seems you like downgraded it for being a "simple" monster flick. Monster flicks are hard to get right, which is why 1 in 10 are memorable at all.

[@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

[@GlitchyWagner]

nice Borderlands reference with the skag

[@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.

[@cozyoni1425]

Been rewatching this movie quite a bit lately and I have to say that this is easily in my top 10 of best movies

[@SpecialOrder935]

What are the other 9 ?

[@lochmon4158]

If i may make a suggestion i would go with octrember

[@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.

This may be one of my top 10 favorite movie monsters. Probably around rank 8 or 9. I enjoyed the practical effects used for the creatures movements and mouths

[@bobbyewing311]

me and my brother used to "play tremors". Kinda like "the floor is lava" but you couldn't stay in one place for longer than like 30 seconds or you are eaten.I miss my brother he passed away but I'm glad we had memories like that together.

[@AkuTenshiiZero]

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.

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.

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.

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.

You know... I can't think of another horror movie where no one makes a dumb decision.

[@cory6266]

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.

[@alienonlsd3209]

I mean Kevin Bacon started on Animal House and Friday the 13th he started on fairly low projects that weren't massive names during their production at least. So maybe he just thought this was the first lul of his career?

[@commandoelite9834]

18:15 had me dying of laughter

[@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.

Tremors is a classic and one of the most fun movies that I have seen. Also, the practical effects are absolutely fantastic.

[@FrankLightheart]

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.

[@FrankLightheart]

@tdenzel101 And it probably wasn't easy to do either. I mean, building a monster worm and making it emerge from the ground is tough to do on a small budget.

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.

[@dr.decker3623]

this is one of those perfect movies,.. one of the biggest reasons is because they follow the law of show don't tell to the T. Pacing is perfection (hehe), setups have payoffs, people make reasonable decisions for the most part (the father was setup as an idiot already before he sat on that tire, so that's both lol) and knowing they had a good props and effects team, their main focus was to develop everything else around the threat and make it a believable world, sort of like how a good book reads. This movie is the equivalent of an amazing novel.
