Tremors Movie Review

Comic sci-fi creature feature has a tiny desert town being attacked by giant man-eating worm-type “Graboids.” Luckily handymen Kevin Bacon and Fred Ward are on the scene to accidentally save the day with the help of guns-R-us couple Michael Gross and Reba McEntire. Not your average Jaws-on-dry-land ripoff. Just the right mixture of scares and the funny stuff as people and even entire cars are sucked under and devoured. Collector's edition laserdisc has deleted scenes, the making of, interviews, audio commentary, and is, of course, letterboxed.
