Classic Friday : Tremors (1990) 8/10

Starring : Kevin Bacon, Fred Ward, Finn Carter, Michael Gross, Reba McEntire
Director : Ron Underwood
Running Time : 92 mins

The townsfolk of Perfection, Nevada, are faced with a deadly infestation of giant flesh-eating worms that have decided to start eating their way through the town. Armed with only their wits and a few handguns, the remaining few join forces to wage battle against the deadly creatures in the vain hope of protecting their town, their homes, and their lives.

This is one of the best comedy horrors of all time. Irrespective of the less impressive sequels, this monster movie harks back to the good old days of simple creatures with simple needs attacking simple folk. The special effects are both quirky and fun to watch, and the characters manage to be one dimensional while simultaneously being deep and engrossing to watch.
