Tremors
Tremors
A small town gradually becomes aware of a strange creature which picks off people one by one. But what is this creature, and where is it? At the same time, a seismologist is working in the area, she detects _tremors_. The creature lives underground, and can 'pop up' without warning. Trapped in their town, the town-folk have no escape.

Alright, so Tremors, I first saw this on a movie channel, probably late at night and I was hooked.
It’s got that perfect B-movie vibe: cheesy in all the right ways, but with enough charm and practical effects to make it stick.
Kevin Bacon and Fred Ward? Total legends.
Their buddy chemistry carries the whole thing and the rest of the cast just fits, especially the survivalist couple with way too many guns.
The monsters "Graboids" are ridiculous, but they work.
Big underground worms that hunt by sound? Sure, why not.
The suspense builds nicely and even though it’s not exactly high art, it knows what it is and leans into it hard.
You’ve got one liners, desert dust and people jumping from rooftop to rooftop like it’s lava tag.
I ended up grabbing the DVD later and honestly? It still holds up.
It’s one of those comfort watches I throw on when I want something fun, familiar and just a little absurd.
Not a masterpiece, but it doesn’t need to be.
It’s got heart, grit and a whole lot of worm carnage.
If you haven’t seen it in a while, give it another go.
It’s earned its cult status and yeah, I’ll defend that.
