Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, Tremors earns its spot. The jokes in Tremors land because the characters underneath them are worth caring about.

Between them, Kevin Bacon and Fred Ward carry the comedy without ever forcing it. It was released in 1990.

For viewers who want something light without wanting something stupid, Tremors respects your intelligence. It does not lean on comparisons to make its case. The complete film is available and best experienced without too much prior knowledge of where it goes. Kevin Bacon anchors an ensemble with real chemistry. Genuinely funny, consistently, across the whole run.
