Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
Tremors has a few clever twists but ultimately can't decide what it wants to be - flat-out funny, which it's not, or a scarefest.

Horror/comedies often tread too far to one side or the other of that fine line; Tremors walks it like a tightrope.

This is what a monster movie is supposed to be like, and it's terrific.

rotten:
More than anything else, it looks like the sort of movie that might have been put together so that tourists visiting Universal Studios could see a movie being made.

fresh:
A delightful throwback to such '50s and '60s films as "Them," "The Deadly Mantis" and "Attacks" of both "The Giant Leeches" and "The Crab Monsters."
