Film 8/365, Day 5/365 – Tremors

Earl and Valentine are a couple of handymen who work and live in Perfection Nevada, a small town in the middle of nowhere with a population of 14. Well, it was 14, but now it’s shrinking and fast as something under the desert floor is eating them. Can Earl and Valentine make it out of Perfection in one piece?

I remember watching Tremors as a teenager and it’s probably what first got me interested in horror-comedy films. The thing is I still think that Tremors should be used today as how a horror-comedy should be made. The characters are all brilliant and very believable. Kevin Bacon and Fred Ward are fantatic on the screen together. Also I love how the monster on the cover is not the monster in the film!!! Still one of the best horror-comedy films.
