Tremors (1990)

Sometimes no matter how low the budget or silly the concept, everything in a film gels and the final product is more than the sum of its parts. Add Tremors to that list. It’s one of my favourite B-Movies.
It takes place in a small town in Nevada called Perfection. The town doesn't quite live up to its name when something big and hungry turns up unexpectedly and starts devouring the citizens. Among the townspeople are two happy-go-lucky friends who help keep the film rolling at all times.
Extra praise for Michael Gross as the gun-happy Burt. You’d maybe not want Burt on your friends list, but in a crisis I'd have him on speed dial.
