Amazon.com 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

A campy B movie that doesn't try to be anything but a campy B movie. June 26, 2008 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I liked this movie. Why? Its fun, it's stupid, it's easy to watch as long as you put your brain on pause. The acting is laughably bad; everything about this movie is bad. So bad it's good. And I think that's the kind of monster movie they set out to make. Brilliantly horrid. Tremors is a great way to kill an evening if you're just looking for a campy monster movie that doesn't require you to think. I recommend a rental.
Pure cult nostalgia June 3, 2008 This movie is a classic!!! My favorite memory was renting this film when I was 12 and watching it 8 times in a row with my friend. I will never get tired of this movie. Every time its on TV I have to watch it. If you have never seen this film Kevin Bacon is at his best when he is saving people from giant man-eating worms.
A Classic! May 11, 2008 For me, the word "classic" means a movie that has stood the test of time. I believe "Tremors" has stood the test of time. I still enjoy putting it on now and again.
A True Underground Film If I Ever Saw One May 3, 2008 5 out of 5 found this review helpful
Tremors is everything a monster movie should be. It's an ode to 50s monster movies without shoving the "ode" part down your throat and constantly wink, wink, winking at you the way Rob Zombie and Quentin Tarantino have done. Homage or not, it's a very good movie in it's own right. In fact it's better than a movie like this should be. Most everyone is familiar with the plot involving underground wormlike creatures terrorizing a small town in the Nevada desert. Kevin Bacon and Fred Ward are two handymen who stumble onto the monsters and then team up with the remaining townspeople to take a stand(only after the plan to flee fails). Along for the ride are Michael Gross as the gun toting Burt(who would later become the central character of the movie and tv series'), and his equally weapon crazy wife played by Reba McEntire. Be on the lookout for Big Trouble In Little China's Victor Wong as an unfortunate general store owner and David Lynch regular, Charlotte Stewart. Everything about this movie is above average. The acting is all around good, the comedy is dead on and kept in check without going overboard, the creature FX look very good(though some folks from the CGI generation may say they look silly, but what do they know?), the story is engaging and it's never boring. This is a PG-13 rated horror film that sacrifices nothing for the sake of getting that rating. It isn't meant to be a blood bath or sex romp anyway. In fact, the amount of profanity and gore is more than you'd expect, but PG-13 actually meant something in 1990. Practically all onscreen bloodletting is of the monster type anyway, not human, which is easier to get away with. Most likely you've seen this before, but it certainly doesn't hurt to give a good thing another whirl(just ask my wife). Probably one of the best horror flicks of the 90s and more fun than practically any horror film made in the last ten years.
For fans only April 18, 2008 I wasn't pleased with the video and audio transfer. The bottom line is that this HD DVD is for fans only.
