Fantastic!

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Very good indeed. The action, humor and horror are so well balanced and the acting is great, too. Kevin Bacon and Fred Ward are perfectly cast. The effects are very realistic and there's even a few great scares and suspense scenes. I thoroughly enjoyed this one!

This is a very scary movie. It has a great story line. It also has great acting. It also has great special effects. It it very scary. 7.1 is underrating it. Tremors 2 After shocks is better. But still this is a great movie. If it does not scary you then no movie will. This is one of the scariest movie to come out before 1996. Michael Gross is a great actor. Fred Ward is a great actor. Ron Underwood is a great film maker. If you know a good monster movie then you need to see this movie. It is an awesome movie. I give 10 out of 10. Tremors 2 After shocks is scarier. But still this a very scary movie. If you know a good monster movie when you see it you will like this movie.

This is no Hollywood blockbuster with a big budget and top of the line special effects, but this is pure fun. This feels like a B horror film from bygone years but has plenty of humor in it too and doesn't take itself seriously. Which leads a good insight into the movies idea and special effects shots. Set in the fictional town of Perfection, Nevada, the film follows a day in the life of two handy men (Fred Ward and Kevin Bacon) riding out an existence in the bad lands of America, until they decide they have had enough and head for the nearest city, only to find that something horrible is eating its way through every one they've known, and is eyeing up the residence of Perfection valley for afters, their only hope is to make a stand with the help of Burt Gummer, a gun crazed militaristic fanatic and the owner of the local shop, played by John Carpenter staple Victor Wong.The perfectly cast Kevin Bacon and Fred Ward lead the cast as the handy-men Val and Earl, who become entangled in the feeding antics of the giant 'graboids', the film goes on from there. The film's special effects are appropriately down-to-earth and managing to work around the film's relatively low budget and use the creature's subterranean nature to the film's advantage. Despite this subdued approach to effects, the film never feels like anything but a Hollywood blockbuster. Blissfully large in scale and featuring monsters with a real bite, the films effects fire on all cylinders. The film as a whole is like that: a little action, a little gore, and then a joke to ease the tension. It's fast, funny, dry, humorous and has a cracking cast. Its a film you will never be bored with.Overall rating: 8 out of 10.

I thought this was a decent monster movie that has fair amount of entertainment value. It's a monster movie that doesn't focus on the fear and gore elements but more on the fun elements. Where a group of people in Nevada that lives near a small desert area. Has to fight off giant worm like creatures underneath that eats humans. I think the idea came because of a group of kids playing a game where they have to stay on platforms. And away from touching the ground and the kids that touched the ground either becomes one of the infected or eliminated from the game. What this is, isn't a psychological terror or anything like that, but a fun filled movie with fun characters trying to survive. While also trying to fight back with the resources they have and outwit the giant man-eating worms. What I appreciate about this movie, is that although it might go slightly overboard. It doesn't try to be more than what it is. So if you want to watch a fun low-budget movie with a group of friends or even with the whole family, this one might lead to a somewhat enjoyable time.7/10
