To answer your question Katie: that blue device cleans off brass for reloading it, Burt and Heather save their brass to load new bullets into it. It's a common practice for people in rural areas, since buying reloading equipment and loading your own ammo is more economical down the line. Especially in common hunting calibers, where buying large amounts of ammo for them can be much more expensive than simply buying common calibers like 9mm or 5.56 in bulk. Additionally, you can load for more specific niche purposes such as long range shooting or taking certain types of game.

A true classic and gem of a movie. A simple but imaginative premise executed nearly flawlessly on a low-ish budget with masterful practical effects, and some memorable and likeable characters that actually think and make some smart decisions (at least as smart as they can in the circumstances) resulting in a near perfect film that knows exactly what it is and relishes every second of it. Love this one!

You have to consider that this was made in 1990 and at the time, it wasn't considered a "B Movie." Sure, it wasn't a "blockbuster," but it was a legit low-budget, Hollywood film when it was made and with 3 well known actors/performers during the era. Kevin Bacon was a big name at the time, having broken out in 1984's "Footloose," which was huge hit. Reba McEntire(the red head) was a Country Music star and is a legend in that scene in modern day. Freddie Ward was also a well known name at the time.

Worms are homaprodites, as are Slugs & Snails (self reproducing) TREMORS 2 was hopeless & silly. I'm interested in the Western set one in the...1880s a good idea, to set the story then, involving Gold mining/"Prospectors" I think, but I havent seen it, STARSHIP TROOPERS was a bit, surviving in the baron Desert I didnt like those Arachnid designs used in that film the tv series, not bad, typical American out back in this film, where they think they can sell ANYTHING.

One of my favorite things about Tremors is most of the characters make good decisions. Turning most of the Human vs Graboid interactions into realistic conflicts. It is things you can see actually people doing with their skill sets and knowledge. Same with the Graboids as well, they start to realize the traps and tricks and make smart choices. Also it doesn't fall into the trap of making the one educated character have all the answers and know the right path all the time. It is a team effort with strength, experience, and knowledge.

There's a couple of sequels (Fred Ward came back in the 2nd movie), a prequel & a TV-show, and Michael Gross starred in all of them as Burt Gummer. They actually made a reboot TV-show 2 or 3 years ago which had Kevin Bacon returning, but it was cancelled before it could be shown. There's also a cancelled video game. I assume you would play as Burt & Michael Gross did the voice, I also heard that Keith David (who you have seen in The Thing & you definitely need to watch They Live 😉) & Frank Welker (legendary voice actor) did some voice for it too. Not exactly a monster movie, but Night of the Creeps (about alien parasite slugs turning humans into zombies). There's a similair one, but that one has some monster effects, Slither by James Gunn. Here's a couple of monster movies; Q - The Winged Serpent, The Deadly Spawn, The Brain & Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer. Here's two bizarre creature feature by Frank Henenlotter that I highly recommend; Basket Case & Brain Damage.

Good news! There's 6 more movies in the Tremors franchise, and each adds some different permutations or additions to the lifecycle of the Graboids. Part 4 is a prequel, set in the old west, and introduces us to what the worms look like in their larval stage. Tremors isn't actually a B-Movie itself, but is an homage to the old-timey B-movie type monster movies. The movies keep the theme of "monster movie action/comedy" throughout the franchise, including the Sci-Fi channel TV show spinoff. I'm one of those fans that has the whole movie pack. 5-7 sort of drop into B-movie territory for quality, but they're still fun to watch.

So I'm an artist and I like to focus on the practical effects artists works because they very rarely get credited or eyes on their work, the entire focus goes on the actors/directors/screen writers and very rarely on the hard work of the artists. Nowadays even more so on practical/makeup effects artists who are losing jobs every day to cgi taking over. I'm not against cgi, I think the two should be balanced.

While it doesn't have Kevin Bacon as Val, it does have Fred Ward returning as Earl, who's been hired to deal with a Graboid infestation at a Mexican oilfield. Plus, it has Michael Gross returning as Burt Gummer, which makes Burt more of a main character. It helps cement Burt Gummer as one of the legendary horror heroes and sets Burt up as the main character for the sequels after Tremors 2.

Glad you enjoyed it, Tremors is a solid movie, good cast, great dialogue/problem solving by characters, and nasty sand worms!

Great movie. I usually don't like horror movies but this is the exception. You should also see Stir of Echos 1999 a sci fi horror also with Kevin Bacon Also a great Fred Ward movie is Remo Willams the adventure begins. I love the scene with the monster that attack the gun crazy couple it cracks me up :) . You got in into the wrong rec room :) . Fyi about the crazy gun couple. The woman is Reba a famous country singer and the guy was famous as the hippie dad (What a 180 :) ) on the popular 80's show Family Ties with Micheal J Fox (Marty from Back To The Future). Also the ending was change because the test audience wanted to be a kiss.

I was wondering if you'd seen the Korean film Host? It's quite good, has a very unique monster that is extraordinarily well designed and conceived. It's not quite a kaiju movie, but it's a very good, traditional monster movie and if you haven't seen it I highly recommend it. It's very similar in many ways to Tremors.

Hi Katie another enjoyable reaction to such a great and fun film there's 7 films in this franchise, and honestly the first 3 are great fun to watch but after that it got a bit silly and repeated itself a little bit, but that's my opinion you may like all seven of them and the actor Micheal Gross who played the legend that is Burt Gummer is in all 7 films, Also followed your socials which are a lot of fun but I'm not a big fan of twitch, anyway if you get chance to you should check out the UK and US co-produced film The Lair of the White Worm from 1988, its loosely based on the Bram Stoker novel of the same name,

I love Tremors, it's one of my favourite films. The monsters are dangerous without being unstoppable, and there isn't just one cheap trick to defeating them. The people are pretty clever once they figure out the rules, and aside from Melvin they're likeable. Also interesting as a rare horror film set almost entirely in bright sunlight.The sequels are great too, definitely worth watching too, and even the TV series is fun, even if it's a bit wackier than the films.

I love this one because of the creativity of Tremors. It's basically an animal attack movie like Jaws, but with a fantasy creature that doesn't exist. It's honestly a tight script with great visuals, and only one character acts like an idiot. Everyone else acts entirely logically and intelligently based on the knowledge they have at the time of an attack. As well as some great creative thinking about how to resolve their issues. Such a good and fun movie 🙂

Tremors does a lot of things brilliantly. Unlike many horror films, you have a cast of likeable characters, who don’t make blatantly dumb decisions, and who learn about the monsters and how to outsmart them. Not only that, but the monsters learn from our heroes choices too, forcing them to have to adapt and overcome new challenges along the way. It is one of my top ten favourite films of all time, and part of why I’ve grown to love small town, country Americana.

For the "camera swimming through the earth" shots, they pointed the camera straight upwards and poured dirt down onto it.

Honestly if you liked the ways they beat the graboids and the escalation of strategies they had to employ to outsmart them, you might like the tremors tv show. Now there are quite a few big turn offs about the show, like due to its miniscule budget most of the effects are really bad cgi and what little is practical looks very cheap, graboids don't play a big role in many of the episodes, it's a follow up to the third movie so you should watch that before it and the only character from the movies that comes back is Burt Gummer. But a lot of the monsters pose interesting challenges that make them hard to take down with something conventional as shooting them, and the ways they do beat them are usually really creative.

another reason why i love this, the characters are not really stupid, unlike a lot of movies, yes they may not be the wisest i know everythng people also in a trope, but they are human, the scientist doesnt know everything, unlike a lot of movies, its sort of parodying the 50's monster movies in that way where the scientists knew everything

this whole movie series is nice and even the tv show. this movie was pure physical and practical effects they did the dirt tunneling scenes by filling a tube with dirt and forcing the camera through it. each craboid above ground had a few people operating it and even in the third movie they had alot of practical effects since you love creativity check out "wizard of speed and time" its a classic oldie but the creator Mike doesnt want anyone to monetize it s all money would go to disney who literally screwed him out of all money from that movie/short

if you get a chance I suggest checking out little shop of horros from the late 80's or early 90's the plant creature it's an absolute artists dream, i just rewatched after years of not seeing it and i discovered when it's mouth open the interiors especially the tongue is a beautiful flowery type thing of gorgeous cool tones. I also recommend another film I might have suggested this before but its called night of the demons from the year 1988.

Burt Gummer is my spirit animal! His actor Michael Gross was most famous at the time for '80s sitcom "Family Ties" where he played the uber-liberal Dad (who worked for a non profit while being the Dad of commited yuppie Michael J Fox. Burt Gummers wife was played by country music legend Reba McIntyre, while the young girl Mindy, was played by Ariana Richards. She went on to play the young girl Lex in "Jurassic Park" in 1993.

My mom is a huge fan of this series. I have slowly bought her all of them for gifts over the years. I think there is something like 6 or 7 movies total.
