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. --Jeff Shannon

Rating:  - A campy B movie that doesn't try to be anything but a campy B movie.
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.
Rating:  - Pure cult nostalgia
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.
Rating: - A Classic!
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.
Rating: - A True Underground Film If I Ever Saw One
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 ... Read More
Rating:  - For fans only
I wasn't pleased with the video and audio transfer. The bottom line is that this HD DVD is for fans only.
