Tremors takes place in a small isolated town that reminds me of the town from Rango. The natives of the town have to defend themselves from these strange underground creatures that are picking them off one by one.
What sets Tremors apart from other creature features is that it doesn't take it self too seriously. You can tell that the actors are all having a great time in their roles. This movie could have been completely different if it was overly serious. Luckily, the script is filled with funny characters and great humor. Oddly enough the script was written by S.S. Wilson and Brent Maddock who also wrote the script to Wild Wild West..........
I don't think I need to say anything else.
Perhaps the most memorable part of the film are Reba McEntire and Michael Gross's characters. They play a couple that are convinced that the end of the world is near. They have a bomb shelter that is stocked to the brim with rifles and ammunition. And they face off against one of the creatures in one of the most ridiculously over the top scenes in any monster movie. I swear I could not stop laughing in that scene. If you haven't seen Tremors, watch it just for this scene.
Final Report: Tremors doesn't take it self seriously and that works for it. It's silly, cheesy ridiculous fun. It is a B movie at its finest.
