Even if it was shit, I still want to see it. I love Burt, but I want to see more of Val and Earl.

I was just thinking about Tremors today. When I was in elementary school for some reason they had us take home a jar of oatmeal with a meal worm in it and I forgot about it for months. When we moved out of that house I found the jar and poked around inside to see what happened. Needless to say, I've been traumatized by sand worm things forever.

Why don't they make tremors into a big budget movie? It could be the american godzilla if done right. No more dvd bullshit.

people would need to watch it, and as of now there is not a big enough fanbase to justify the investment.

It would be awesome tough

As a kid we would play a game like hot lava but called it tremors instead. I need to watch a cold day in hell

Obviously the first is amazing, like an 8/10 for me, comparable to the blob remake. My only critique is that they dropped the R rating and edited around it, which is obvious and hurts the film. But it's so good on its own that we don't even need that shit, it's just the obvious edits that hurt it. If it had been shot pg13 it would be seemless. Anyway, as for the rest, I always loved 2 as a kid but on a recentish rewatch I didn't care for it much. Little graboid action because of lower budget, plus Val's absence is heavily felt, not to mention the shitty Elizabethan drama coincidence of the science gal being Earl's Playboy chick. That shit was stupid. Highlights are Burt and some of the screecher stuff but the budget still made them edit around the potentially coolest shit. Even as a kid I never loved 3 but I liked some stuff, stuck in the trailer park or whatever with the potato gun especially. But ass blasters always sounded dumb as a name among other critiques. Lately though I've seen lots of people on here praising it so I think I'm due for a revisit. As a kid I really enjoyed 4 bit even without a rewatch I can tell it's mostly shit just from memory. Ginger snaps did that same weird flashback same cast shit and I haven't seen that either.

As for 5 and 6 (I think), haven't seen them. But I've heard fairly decent things so I'm sure I'll watch them eventually. Actually can you guys weigh in there based on my opinions above, would love some recs or steer clears. Because of that, no idea what to think of 7 but I'm impressed and proud to see 7 films in the series. I watched a few episodes of the tv show when it aired and that was shit, reminded me of what I think was a Friday the 13th show but I could be wrong.

anyway, point is, should I watch tremors 5 and 7?

Is tremors kaiju? Did the tremors tv show release?

Aren't this kind of worms actually based on a cryptid that's considered real even by some of the Arabian parliament or so?

This?

1st was a masterpiece. 2nd has cringe ass Grady, but its still fun. Big giant nosedive from there, no hope for the series.

me and my friends played basically that but we tried to add a story. we're from rural WV and our parents had lots of trucks, building machinery, log piles, etc, I remember playing until midnight at my neighbor's running around screaming trying not to touch dirt. After 4th grade the neighbor kids would ask me to play tremors with them but their dad was a logger so they really meant trimmers and we would just go onto the woods and push dead trees down. Now I live in a big city far away and I still play tremors but it's alcohol and cocaine withdrawals and I see little animals on my periphery

I remember liking Tremors 4. When I saw it and the gunslinger came to town I genuinely felt like that guy was going to save the town. Then he dies horribly. Isn't Tremors supposed to have a comedic edge to it? Because I just think these movies are horrifying.

Yep

Too realistic

I said in an earlier post, it's like the blob 1988. satire of 50s monster movies but way more brutal and scary, tremors more scary to kids while the blob is genuinely frightening and disturbing. tremors is still effective though. Similar to Return of the Living Dead much of its comedy is character/buddy related but even our comical heroes still have strongly defined personalities (the clashing of which is the impetus for most of the laughs) and a well measured code of honor/loyalty/duty even to the town they were so ready to abandon. It's effectively funny and scary because our mains are fantastic and every single side character is also well written, perfectly fit into the community in the film, and at least semi decently developed. Amazing effects aside, the strength of Tremors truly lies in its writing, direction, and truly dedicated performances. It seems like the rare film where literally everyone involved is at the top of their game and having loads of fun. Very rarely does a movie like that go wrong, even more impressive given the loose but also tightly defined genre, the homages to past works, and the total trust in the effects boys to produce lifelike, terrifying, and captivating creatures and kills. Tremors is not an artistic masterpiece but is boasts a checklist of perfectly done material, inventive effects, and genuine heart that is at best extremely rare to see these days. 8 Legged Freaks is like the capeshit version, and nothing close could be made today

Is this copypasta?

No I'm just on a lot of cocaine

>Tremors is not an artistic masterpiece
If they kept the original title, 'Beneath Perfection' and recut it only slightly it would be looked back on as influential genre cinema. The way the discussion scene in Chang's Shop is filmed is like a stage play, but very naturalistic - it's genuinely good.

Anyone else watch Tremors as a kid and never eat a hot pocket again after the scene where the last one falls off a cliff and explodes?
