Tremors has always been one of my favourite films. It's quite satisfying when what you've considered a guilty pleasure then also gets critical renown. The picture is considered quite a neat, funny, B-movie by many reviewers. It's unpresumptuous, scary, but at the same time tongue-in-cheek. They don't reveal too much or too little. They use the conventions of the genre, but it is never boring or dull. What drives it along, I suppose, is the chemistry between Kevin Bacon and Fred Ward, but also the impression that everyone there is having fun. The director captures a unique and interesting community perfectly, then puts it in danger in perfect monster movie style. It's quite a hidden gem, and I heartily advise you to seek it out.
