“With a tip of the hat towards its ‘50s forefathers, this canny genre entry exploits its novel subterranean threat to the max... Bacon and Ward project a wonderful low-key rapport... This is what a monster movie is supposed to be like, and it’s terrific.”
Screened in tribute to Fred Ward (1942 - 2022)
A joyous love letter to 1950s creature features that delivers horror and humour in equal measure, Tremors is a bonafide cult classic that has grabbed audiences affections ever since its release and spawned a successful franchise that continues to this day.
Repairmen Val McKee (Kevin Bacon) and Earl Bassett (Fred Ward) are tired of their dull lives in the small desert town of Perfection, Nevada. But just as the two try to skip town, they happen upon a series of mysterious deaths and a concerned seismologist (Finn Carter) studying unnatural readings below the ground. With the help of an eccentric couple (Reba McEntire, Michael Gross), the group fights for survival against giant, worm-like monsters hungry for human flesh.
