agreed.

the first two were definitely cheesy but a lot of fun.
i think i only saw the third one after that, and i don't even think i finished it.

but yeah, the first tremors was a fun movie.

Thanks for bringing this thread back. It always upped the level of discourse around here. Tremors is fun. It's a good quality throwback with a fun, quirky cast, it's like late 50s AIP meets a trashier 80s Coen Brothers. I think it definitely would have been better off without a sequel though.

What you can do, as I do with a lot of horror movies is just pretend their are no sequels.


If you do that and just look at Tremors then it is a great movie with some pretty cool monsters, something that we haven't had much of lately.

Totally agreed. But, between the Mist,Cloverfield and a revival of interest in Godzilla, we can hope for a new giant monster boom.

The Slasher revival has been done into the ground and I hope they do make some good monste movies soon. But unfortunatley they will probaly be shity CGI, Not many CGi monsters look good.. I realy don't like this new format, why can't they get it right!

Tremors is a film that I should like, love even, but for some reason.....I just don't. It annoys me, and I'm not exactly sure why. Maybe I have been in the wrong mood everytime I have tried to watch it.....that happened with Phantasm and I like it now after finally making it through the film.

The 1st part of Tremors was simply a great fun ride. I truly enjoyed it to the end. But on later parts, when the creatures started to walk around then then my interest on this franchise falls apart.

Btw, Slither was as a complete piece of crap to me. Usually I hated to see this kind of 'shit' like creatures related storyline.

Tremors was a lot of fun. I don't know why it got bashed. Nothing like killer worms to get my spirits up.

I definitely agree about the sequels-bringing-the-franchise-down scenario in this case. Tremors was easily one of the best fun-filled romps ever. You gotta love each scene from the first to the last, and the tangy western background score intermixed with cheesy and quirky moments of sheer horror make this a really pleasurable 90 minute trip. As regards the sequels, the lesser said the better.

Hmm...its true that one man's fondness with a particular choice isnt another person's cup of tea. But then, lately, most of the choices have been going down pretty well with audiences and HDC members alike...with one exception.

Tell me folks...why do some of you adore it, while many of you dont like

The Brood

that much?


Bring on the bashing!!

I liked The Brood and don't see anything wrong with it, although I have seen some haters around here.
