Snake - Why I Chose It - One of the most recognizable monster movies ever made thanks to a combination of Kevin Bacon's starpower and the attention-grabbing Graboids, Tremors has become a huge franchise of 5 sequels & a TV series.

My Thoughts - Tremors is a decently enjoyable movie with some nice moments of comedy balanced with legitimate danger, and really fun practical effects. No complaints about the cast either. Ultimately though, Tremors is missing that "x-factor" for me, and I can't for the life of me figure out what it is. There's just something off about it, that doesn't really pull me in as much as I thought it would.

Karo - In this hick town in colorado or whatever there's these earthquakes that are caused by unknown burrowing monsters and a lot of people get eaten but unfortunately not the dipshit little boy. The main characters are these two moronic cowboys who spend a lot of the movie yelling at each other and the other dumbass residents of the town, with everyone having such atrocious acting that it makes Anakin in the Phantom Menace look Oscar-worthy. The creatures are stupid looking and don't make a bit of sense from any logical standpoint, its just like yo dawg, I heard you like snakes so we put snakes inside your snakes so you can snake when you snake and snake snake snake snake. So aliens, irradiated mutants, or escaped government bioweapons? The fuck if I know, as far as the movie is concerned these things just exist for the sake of existing, nothing but dumb shit cooked up in the head of someone who wanted to remake Jaws with giant earthworms.

Genny - I didn't hate Tremors as much as I thought I guess. It's a competent movie though I cannot comprehend the prevalence of giant regular animal movies in this decade. 5.2/10

Charon - Deep beneath the sands are terrifying worms; more digging is required for a quality film. Definitely the weakest of the Bacon films for me, this one is just a little over-the-top, try hard sort of funny. The main characters seem like they should have gigantic heads and limbs because of how much they feel like caricatures. The romance here feels really forced and unbelievable as well. Sure it's a young Kevin Bacon, but they really seem to have virtually no common bond that isn't surviving gigantic sand worms together. The worms themselves are just kinda eh as antagonists. As far as monsters go, I guess they're not awful or anything. I do like the mythical beast known as the Mongolian sandworm, which I feel these are partially based upon. Ultimately, I just feel the characters here are too campy and I found it hard to get much invested in their fate.

Listen, suffering is a fact of life. Either you learn how to deal with that or you go under.
