VHS Movie Reviews of Tremors [VHS]

Movie Review: Like A Roller Coaster Ride...Thrilling and Fun!
Summary: 4 Stars

Forget about building an underground shelter in case of a world catastrophe, that's exactly where all the evil lurks in this fun thriller.

Kevin Bacon(Val) and Fred Ward(Earl) star in this horror film that pays homage to the 50's monster flicks. They are two handymen in the small town of "Perfection", Nevada, who are just trying to get out of town and seek a better life.Everytime they try to leave though, they run into some grisly discovery. With the help of Rhonda(Finn Carter), a beautiful seismology student who has been recording underground rumblings, they stay and try to lead the few(but wacky) residents of Perfection to saftey. The rumblings, as it turns out, are no earthquakes, they are giant worm-like creatures, who go after anything that moves. Station wagons are just an appetizer for these grotesque subterranean monsters.

Michael Gross and Reba McEntire co-star as a couple who make their living selling guns. Their arsenal is astounding, and they are a treat to watch as they try to stave off these creatures.

Like a roller coaster, it's thrilling, scary and fun, and you may want to hide your eyes, but you won't. Bacon and Ward play their roles with humor and a comradeship that works well.It was directed by Ron Underwood(City Slickers/Mighty Joe Young 1998), who keeps us laughing and screaming at the same time.Also look for a Ariana Richards, who plays little "Mindy". She is real good with creatures, as she went on to become "Lex" in Jurassic Park!

This edition of the VHS seems to be unavailable at this time, but there is a very nice edition from Universal that has an exceptioanlly good picture and sound in Dolby Surround/Hi Fi Stereo. If you can't get enough of "Tremors", there are 3 more in the "Tremors" series as well. Just put Tremors in VHS(or DVD) search to find them all. The ISBN of the other edition is 6301697707. You can also search by putting that number in the search box.

If you're a fan of the old classic monster films and you think "They just don't make em like they used to.." try this one on for size.....Have fun....Laurie
