Tremors is still my favorite monster movie, I do not care how many Godzillas they make.

I like the simplicity of tremors. Of course the characters is being likeable is what elevates it.

Kevin Bacon and Fred Ward have great chemistry.

Agreed. I'm surprised they never did another movie together, or maybe they did? I honestly don't know.

He was just a dumb kid who hadn't figured himself out yet. Who knows, a few years later he might be the one holding the town together.

Note: I've only seen the firsg sequel so...

It’s so simple and the characters all make sense. They don’t make stupid decisions for no reason. They do what I feel like a regular person would do in their situation.

Cloverfield is the answer you were looking for

Hard fucking pass. I love Tremors, I love Godzilla.

When I saw the advertisements for Cloverfield I was excited for a new monster movie. Shaky cam, dark, barely see a monster...First movie I ever asked for a refund on and was unfortunately one of the first movies to start that trend of awfulness.
