Tremors & Tremors 2 - Please do not feed!

"Perfection" could be a silent little Western village with trailerparks and Chang's market as the center of everything happening around. It could. If not something would have lately attracted some monsters that no man has ever seen before. And why were they not seen? Right, because they are subterranian what basically means they live under your feet. The casual workers Val & Earl decide to fight against them, rather than running away and succeed. They soon find themselfs facing huge worms that move highspeed underground and pull down everything into the ground, they catch.

One who didn't watch those great film series yet may now think "Ok monsters ... that live in the ground? Wth wasn't Godzilla unrealistic enough?" but no, no, no there's an explanation for everything - coming in part 2-4.

Part 2 begins where part 1 ends. Logically. Somewhere in Mexico the monsters have been showing up - and this time they are prepared to change their look for the faster, smaller and breed themselfs in a minute. Now they are not huge worms anymore you can blow up easylie but fast, little, things that use infrared to catch their prey - which of course are the workers at the oil field and Earl who needs the money he'll get if he blows them up.

You are here looking at a classic! In 1990 when "Tremors" was released it was quite fresh and it came as a likeable funny and entertaining adventure movie with an unknown kind of monsters. This breed wasn't "evil", it was just ... hungry and learning! Fred Ward and Kevin Bacon make it a really watchable thing, you shouldn't miss.

Just one question remains unanswered even after 4 parts - why does the worm on the cinema posters and dvd covers always have teeth when he doesn't in the movie?

(Hold on for the rev of part 3 & 4 coming soon)
