Tremors (1990)

Natives of a small isolated Southern town defend themselves against strange underground creatures which are killing them one by one - imdb.com

    This is one of those comedy/horror movies, more on the comedy side I'd say. The monsters are not especially interesting and, quite frankly, horribly made. They're scarier when you can't see them, I will admit, it is not a pleasant thought to be dragged under the ground and torn to bits by something. The reactions of Kevin Bacon, Fred Ward and the rest of the gang are fun.

     This is an ok monster movie/comedy - it's fast and focused on the humor. It's really about the character interactions with each other and the monster, so if you want to see lots of special effects and gore, this is not the film for you. Kevin Bacon is a good actor, so he does the best he can, given the bizarre circumstances he finds himself in. He's relatively natural though, I can picture a lot of people reacting like him. His name in the movie though...Valentine. Really?! They call him "Val," but STILL. 

    Ok, the truth must come out. I saw this movie because it was Reba McEntire's film debut. I thought it would be funny to see her in a monster movie since my experience of her is limited to her family comedy TV show and duets with Kelly Clarkson. It wasn't as funny as I thought it would be. I would skip this one if I were ya'll. It's not worth it. The ending is horrible.
