At the beginning of the 90s, horror and science fiction added an unexpected title, which this January 19 celebrates its 33 years of being released. To date, this movie has seen six sequels, two TV series, but one of them was cancelled. The film in question is none other than tremors.
Directed by Ron Underwood (City Slickers), this film takes us to a remote settlement in the Nevada desert called Perfection. This quiet place begins to register strange earthquakes, so an expert on the subject decides to investigate the area. In parallel we meet two great friends Valentine “Val” Mckee from Kevin Bacon and Earl Basset of the deceased Fred Ward.
Fed up with not getting jobs, these friends decide to walk away from Perfection. On the way to the city they find different people dead in strange circumstances, so they decide to return to see what is happening. Neither Val, Earl nor earthquake expert Rhonda LeBeck (Finn Carter) would ever have imagined that what causes earthquakes and deaths are worms that move underground. These ancient creatures, later baptized as Graboids, put the entire town in check, but they do not have the cunning of Val and Earl.
The movie managed to mix horror and science fiction, also adding humor to the equation. Tremors received positive reviews, which highlighted both the story and the work of its cast.
