Editorial Reviews

Amazon.co.uk Review
Tremors didn't actually break any new ground (even though its tunnelling worm monsters certainly did), but it revved up the classic monster-movie formulas of the 1950s with such energetic enthusiasm and humour that it made everything old seem new again. It's also got a cast full of enjoyable actors who clearly had a lot of fun making the film, and director Ron Underwood strikes just the right balance of comedy and terror as a band of small-town rednecks battles a lot of really nasty-looking giant worms. The special effects are great, the one-liners fly fast and furious between heroes Kevin Bacon and Fred Ward (and yes, that's country star Reba McEntire packin' awesome firepower), and it's all done with the kind of flair one rarely associates with goofy monster flicks like this. --Jeff Shannon, Amazon.com


Customer Reviews

Great movie, appalling DVD1
I love this film, I really do. This DVD copy however is dreadful quality far outstripped by my original VHS copy.
It looks for all the world like a pirate version badly recorded from a theatre seat.
It's not real wide screen but a bad approximation, it's grainy and over coloured, the sound is horrible and it's obvious that the distributor couldn't give a crap about one of the finest B movies ever released.
If this is the best that Universal can do to stop the spread of piracy then it's a sad day and it's obvious that they are not below stooping to the quality and rip off tactics of the pirate.

Come on Universal, give us a good quality well mastered version and I would happily pay more but don't foist this awful excuse on paying customers.

hd-dvd demo material5
This review is for the (u.s.) hd-dvd version of the movie.

This is the definitive home video release of this excellent cult
sci-fi/comedy and unlikely to be bettered.

The initial dvd release was o.k. but presented 1.85:1 letterboxed and dolby surround sound.

This is the first time an Anamorphic (16x9) version is released and in glorious high def quality - the sharp picture takes your breath away.

To complement the visuals is are full on 5.1 soundtracks - dd+ and a truly sublime Dolby True Hd 5.1 for those with 5.1 analogue out or compatible hdmi player and amp.

All the extras from the original release are present also, what are you waiting for?

Note; The u.k. version does not have the True Hd soundtrack, so this harks back to the early days of dvd and the superiority of u.s. releases.

Hilarious noisy romp5
Yet another creature feature. Yes, I do like big things with big teeth. And this delivers on every level. Another great romp, with spot on cast, great scenery and four fab creatures.
