    The original movie was a fantastic example of what can be accomplished on a limited budget with practical effects and how it can look so much better and natural than even the best CGI. It was also well structured narratively and the actors were all very dedicated to their performances. A movie done right in my eyes.

    One nice thing about the Graboids is that they aren't treated as a ham-handed metaphor for whatever issue the writers thought was wrong with the world and are instead treated as living creatures with identifiable habits and hunting patterns.
    They aren't evil; they are just animals that are hungry and looking for food.

    I personally loved the first Tremors movie. It was well written & acted, and while basic, does it extremely well. And the casting was just perfect. Also, this is one of the relative few movies that still holds up well, even today.

      Its a movie from 1990. Its incredibly well made and has better effects than a lot of movies today. Theres only a single CGI or green screen scene in the entire movie, when Burt is shooting a rifle at a Graboid in his basement. Other than that one scene, everything else is perfect.
      Tremors 1, 2, 3 were great movies. Tremors The Series was okay. After that it went down fast, in fact I'm glad they put the last nail in the coffin with the most recent movie.

    Love this movie! I grew up watching it on the Navajo Nation!
    The idea of the movie came from Brent Maddock and SS Wilson whom were in the Navy.
    They were in a Nevada Test Site, taking notes on a large Boulder and one of them said, "What if there was something under the ground that would never let us off this rock?"
    And thus Tremors was born!

    "Tremors" is such a great film. Just the right balance of fun and scary, with a dash of visceral disgust thrown in. And having seen more tiny, isolated Nevada towns than I care to recall, I can also vouch for the relative verisimilitude of the characters. Sure, they're a theatrical version of real people (the most notable example being survivalist Reba McIntyre and her husband), but they're pretty spot on. I always figured Reba and her husband were former California entrepreneurs who got rich, became ultra-conservative, retired early, and moved to Nevada partly for the survivalist lifestyle, but also for the low taxes. Because that seems to be the background of a lot of the rich survivalist people who live out in the Nevada hinterlands.

    The fact that the graboid species as a whole shares a common ancestor with Devonian cephalopods and reproduce via a caste base system involving sibling parasitism scares the hell out of me. You ever think about how the only reason the grub like stage of life for graboids exists only to protect the rest of it's siblings before dying and feeding the second caste in the life cycle. Then the shriekers (second caste) carry the rest of their siblings in their mouth tissue until they are developed enough to drop out and continue the cycle until no more shriekers can be produced. Then metamorphosis occours in some of the shriekers (from the canon sources the assblasters are either the female varient or just a new breeding caste) which gives rise to the assblasters that in turn give rise to more graboids, it's like a termite nest but with sex. Truly horrifying how the scyfy channel put this much thought into these weird things.

    One of the advantages of competent small budget film making rarely mentioned is the
    forced economy of the creative process that can lead to excellent pacing and a streamlining
    of plot development providing a crispness in storytelling.
    This film has almost zero story "waste".
    It also has the feel of the "revenge of nature" flicks from the 70s without the ham-handed moralizing
    or amateurish presentation.
    Most importantly, it just makes being stalked by giant worms fun. And you can't put a price on that.
    (Actually, it turns out you can. The ticket for this cost about $4...)

    RIP Fred Ward (Earl).
    Michael Gross (Bert)and Reba McIntyre's (Heather) Mexican standoff with the Graboid in the basement, is still one of the most badass husband and wife team up scenes in movie history.
    The way filmmakers made people think they got killed with Bert's screaming "JESUS CHRIST!" over the radio.
    Then all of a sudden you hear rifle shots ringing out in the distance across the valley. You knew they were fighting back.
    And then Bert brings out 'Old Graceful,' the 8-Gauge Elephant Gun and finishes it off!
    EPIC!

    It seems an odd thing to say about a 'horror' movie, but the first 'Tremors' was charming. :)

    Awesome movie. They would never make one like it today for cinema; imagine a blue-haired screenwriter doing Michael Gross's character. :D

    I recall when I first saw Tremors being scared of the Graboid until its true size was revealed, the only time I can think of when bigger meant less scary! And whilst all the characters were good, I found Burt Gummer the best of the bunch. I'm glad the actor stuck with the franchise- without him it wouldn't have been the same!

    Ah yes, tremors, this was my go to movie when i was bored, the original movie was a masterpiece, but they can really improve for the newer movies. But however they did a good job on the prequel where there is a smaller graboid devolution
