5.0 out of 5 stars
At last... on DVD!, June 10, 2002
Tremors is one of those films that you just happen to see one night. It's raining, it's winter, there's nothing better to do... by chance you see this movie, and it's superb!Based on the fairly standard 'horror' storyline of some undiscovered monsters turning up to eat people and the guys who turn out to be heroes to save the day, Tremors has nothing new: however, it does everything right. The story holds together really well, the acting is excellent (particularly from Bacon, Ward and Gross) and the tongue-in-cheek humour is well-timed. It's a must-see for anyone who likes to take their films with a pinch of salt, and doesn't analyse absolutely every tiny little thing. Tremors takes the viewer for a nice, fun ride with a few surprises, thrills and shocks to keep the heart pounding. Tremors 2 follows on with Ward and Gross returning to fight the Graboids once again. Despite my immediate fear that, being a sequel, it would be rubbish, I was pleasantly surprised. The humour is still evident, the story holds up well and includes new surprises without being silly... and there's even a bit of love interest. Now... all we need is Fred Ward's "Remo, Unarmed and Dangerous" and our DVD collections can be complete. *chuckle*
