TREMORS (1990)–In the isolated desert town of Perfection, Nevada, handymen Val and Earl stumble upon mysterious underground tremors that turn out to be massive, carnivorous worm-like creatures. As the town’s residents are picked off one by one, the survivors must band together, outwit the beasts, and find a way to escape. Mixing horror, humor, and inventive creature effects, Tremors is a thrilling and fun creature feature that became a cult classic.
