Who would have guessed that this clever, fast-paced creature feature from 1990 would become a beloved miniclassic worthy of its own Collector's Edition DVD? Tremors didn't actually break any new ground (even though its tunneling worm monsters certainly did), but it revved up the classic monster-movie formulas of the 1950s with such energetic enthusiasm and humor that it made everything old seem new again. It's also got a cast full of enjoyable actors who clearly had a lot of fun making the film, and director Ron Underwood strikes just the right balance of comedy and terror as a band of small-town rednecks battles a lot of really nasty-looking giant worms. The special effects are great, the one-liners fly fast and furious between heroes Kevin Bacon and Fred Ward (and yes, that's country star Reba McEntire packin' awesome firepower), and it's all done with the kind of flair one rarely associates with goofy monster flicks like this. Followed by a direct-to-video sequel (Tremors: Aftershocks), this horror thriller was given the deluxe treatment for its DVD release. Bonus features include an original "making-of" documentary, previously unseen video showing the creation of the worm-creatures, outtakes from the film, the original ending not shown in theaters, theatrical trailers, and a gallery of production photographs. If you're a fan, consider this a must-have disc! --Jeff Shannon

 Tremors January 25, 2010
Arnita D. Brown (USA)
Trying to escape their dead-end life in the desert town of Perfection, Nevada, Valentine McKee and Earl Bassett find themselves sidetracked when corpses mysteriously start piling up around them. When Val and Earl have a run-in with some creepy tentacled creatures that have made lunch out of a road crew, they retreat back to the town to spread the news. Although these monsters are not exactly intellectuals, their mental powers are still mind-boggling. Detecting a human hiding in a car, they dig under the vehicle, causing it to sink into the earth. Val and Earl get help from several townspeople. With the help of Rhonda, Val and Earl kill one of the monsters. But there are three of them left, and they are each about 30 feet long. Walter starts calling the monsters graboids. When the survivors think they have outwitted the graboids by taking refuge atop the roofs of buildings, the graboids merely destroy the buildings' foundations, killing two people. The graboids are quick learners when it comes to stalking their prey, and the humans must continually be on their toes if they are to stay alive while they try to find a way to defeat the graboids. "Tremors" succeeds in what it sets out to be, an exciting and wonderfully entertaining horror thriller. A lot of fun and highly recommended.
Awesome movie January 23, 2010
Douglas Bomer (Meridian, Idaho USA)
i actually bought this HD DVD because i recently purchased a hd dvd player for my xbox 360, and this movie was only about 3$ including shipping, so i couldn't pass up the deal. i mainly bought it because i can't find my VHS version and i wanted a better copy anyway! The picture has excellent quality and the sound compared to the VHS is....well... a huge leap (duh).
 Reba is in it December 23, 2009

I bought this movie because Reba Mac is in it & I like her. The movie is ok. Closer to kind of dumb. Large killer worms go after humans. Real ugly things (the worms). They travel under the ground then pop out. It's on tv quite a lot. One ate a car.

With this review getting me past the halfway point in my "31 horror movie reviews for the 31 days of October" concept I had, leading up to the 31st by Halloween, I figure I should add my input on yet another classic, namely "Tremors." "Tremors" is one of those movies with a universal appeal, whether or not you're a hardcore fan of horror movies. It's got a strong plot, consistent series of events, awesome action and intensity, and characters that are very likable and the kind you want to see survive. Although it's not as graphic as other movies of the genre, highlighted by the PG-13 rating, there are some good monster-related gore scenes, like when a construction worker jackhammers a monster through the ground and blood bubbles up. There's also a lot of good laughs throughout the movie, including some brilliant one-liners that make for some down-to-earth comedy. Even more, we have a budding romance in the sub-plot that makes for a happy ending at the end. The monsters, although are kept underground in the earlier half of the movie, are amazing when shown. And of course, great monsters make a great monster movie.
The sound and picture quality of the disc is really nice, too. What's more, there's lots of extra features here that beef up the quality of the disc. I actually got this in the "Tremors 4-Pack", which has all four movies in the series, and at a great price too. Overall, I can't think of a single bad thing about this movie, or the disc it comes on. For those seeking a highly-entertaining, down-to-earth monster movie, "Tremors" will sound off a 10 on the Richter Scale! Thanks for the time, and peace.
Hey it's our old pal Stumpy! September 13, 2009

I remember seeing this movie as a kid after watching "Beetlejuice" and the infamous sandworms of Saturn. So when seeing this film with giant carnivorous worms, I was instantly hooked. Years later this films still manages to pack a punch and still hold my attention longer than most films today.
Fred Ward and Kevin Bacon are unlikely pair to be in such a oddball buddy film turned Scifi horror straight out the Atomic Age. Micheal Gross and the fiery, redheaded Reba McEntire (who by the way looks good carrying a machine gun, wow where can I find a woman like that?:)) play a believable married couple. With Reba's levelheadedness and Gross' paranoid but not over the top gun fanatic-turned-survivalist is an interesting combination (which strangely reminds me of my brother who seems to emulate Burt down to the wall of guns).
Even his motto has become my brother's favorite saying, " If you need it and don't got it, you sing a different tune,".
Anyway, this film manages to be scary and funny at the same time, a feat not easily accomplished in today's hack'em-up-while-their-screamin' horror flicks. Also, it's somewhat kid friendly as there aren't buckets of red corn syrup pouring off every inch of celluloid. The director seems to have studied Hitchcock's Less-is-more method when it comes to death scenes, though a few gory bits are bound to pop up.
It's a very fun film from beginning to end and is well thought out, and is worth a watch. Also it's a great popcorn movie for a rainy day. Definitely worth owning.
