Tremors
Well I finished watching the 1990 movie Tremors starring Kevin Bacon and Fred Ward. This is a cult classic and one of my favorite non-scary scary movies. The cast is great and the plot is OK (giant mutated killer worms attacka small town and kill the inhabitants one by one).
I watched this movie with my 9 year old daughter who is scared of her own shadow, which tells you how scary this realy is. Ron Underwood is a great director and also directed City Slickers and the 2nd and 4th installment of Tremors (plus a bunch of TV stuff as well).
What are your thoughts on this movie Toby? Even though we didn’t get a chance to watch it together this time we’ve certainly seen it enough times. I need to re-watch the sequels to remember them, but this one I’ve seen about a dozen times.
PS: Toby is going to write on “The Grudge” which we saw again recently!

Well like you said it’s definitely not all that scary. The plot is pretty bad. It definitely isn’t one of Kevin Bacon’s best performances I think.
I would only give this 4 out of 10 stars.
This one ended up on TV on a rainy weekend sometime back in Feb. and the scariest part about it was the language (and that’s only because our son Jack was begging me to watch a scary movie with him and I found this and thought, “I don’t remember this movie being TOO scary, this might work”). In the end Jack and I had some fun watching it and it didn’t turn him into an instant potty-mouth so I guess no harm done. Fun movie.
