USA Today
Susan Wloszczyna
"The special effects are scream-worthy, the gore is minimal and the humor has a folksy zing to it. [19 Jan 1990, p.1D]"

St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Harper Barnes
"With its excellent, offbeat cast, its sprightly pacing and its goofy tone, Tremors is the kind of movie that propels you out of the theater with a grin on your face. [26 Jan 1990, p.3F]"

Boston Globe
Jay Carr
"Fast-moving, light-handed, assured, even witty at times, and filled with satisfying special effects, Tremors plays like a redneck "Dune." [19 Jan 1990, p.23]"

Washington Post
Richard Harrington
"Tremors is 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."" ... Read full review

Los Angeles Times
Michael Wilmington
"It's a zippy melodrama for small-town America and small-towners at heart: well-executed kitsch for audiences that will still be amused at the notion that the bugs are getting so big, they'll drag us all down." ... Read full review

The New York Times
Vincent Canby
"Tremors wants to be funny, but it spends too much time winking at the audience. 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." ... Read full review

Its a monster movie and one of the best. A very unique feel to it and is a genuine horror comedy. I am a fan of the series and was very happyIts a monster movie and one of the best. A very unique feel to it and is a genuine horror comedy. I am a fan of the series and was very happy to here that they've done a 5th. It has great pacing, great acting, good story and an identifying theme. There aren't many monster movies that have done 5 in a row all of which are very entertaining. If you like monster movies and haven't seen these yet then do yourself a favor and get them on blu-ray. It's worth it.… Expand

This is probably the first animal/creatures attacks human movie that all of the characters were not serious and i love it, they are fun,This is probably the first animal/creatures attacks human movie that all of the characters were not serious and i love it, they are fun, funny, and smart, Tremors is not taking a long time to finish, they didn't kill literally everybody, they're not stupid, they're not dumb, and i have a lot of fun yet very intense experience, we're talking about Ridley Scott's Alien, John McTiernan's Predator, Stephen King's Cujo, Hitchcock's The Birds and all of those animal/creatures attacks human movie, Tremors is the most fun of them all.… Expand

Kevin Bacon and Fred Ward have great chemistry as two bickering handymen in Perfection Nevada, population 14 when an invasion of subterranean "graboids' (I know, I know ... that sounds ridiculous, but in the context of the movie it clicks).

Spawning an abundance of bad sequels, "Tremors" solid cast, story and excellent practical effects stands the test of time.… Expand

Tremors is still really fun to this day, and the old special effects don’t even take away from the experience

Au menu dans ce navet insipide, Kevin Bacon (!) et Fred Ward le monsieur agent du effebi-aille avant qu'il ne devienne agent à plein temps,Au menu dans ce navet insipide, Kevin Bacon (!) et Fred Ward le monsieur agent du effebi-aille avant qu'il ne devienne agent à plein temps, lorsqu'il était simple plouc avec son pote Kevin. En dehors de sa réalisation à deux balles et de ses effets qui coûtent encore moins cher, en dehors de son scénario mongolo dont on se demande à quel degré il se situe, force est de constater sa non-existence en tant que film puisqu'on ne voit pas de différence avec une heure et demi de parasites ou une heure et demi de l'écran noir d'une télé éteinte. On a vu d'ailleurs des télés se suicider pour moins que ça devant cette débilité de l'espace.… Expand
