Tremors (1990)
7/10
MONSTER ON THE LOOSE THROWBACK...LIVELY HIGH-ENERGY B-MOVIE ENTERTAINMENT
3 September 2021
Kevin Bacon and Fred Ward, along with Rubbery Practical Brainy Animatronic Snake-Hydras, make this a Good B-Movie Watch.

It's an Isolated Town Populated with 20 or so Down to Earth "Folks". Kevin and Fred are "Handy-Men" Helpers Living Day-to-Day doing "Odd Jobs".

Their Itching to Leave Town and Search for "Greener Grass" but the Monsters Rear Their Ugly Heads just as Our Rustic Duo is "On the Road".

So Witnessing a Few Grizzly Murders at the Hands of the Beasts, Their Forced to Stay And Figure Things Out.

Their Helped Along by a Research Scientist, a Curvy, Cute, Freckle-Faced Female (Finn Carter) and the Rest of Townies Pitching in with Varying Degrees of Expertise.

Those Without a Skill-Set to Contribute take turns being the Brunt of the Jokes and are Regulated to "Cheerleaders".

There's a Lot of Cheering and Yelling Gong On.

Overall, this Well-Made Flick was a Surprise Mega-Hit and Hatched a Few Sequels.

It's Slightly Above Average for its Type but Relies Mostly on Monster Movie Cliches.

After All it seems to be a Homage to its Ancestral Matinee and Drive-In Cousins.
