I absolutely fucking love tremors! It hit me at just the right age and I still love to throw it on every now and then. The second and third ones are pretty decent too. There is no fourth one so Im not sure why you are saying there is??
There’s actually reams of writing about the original Tremors because it’s actually a really well-scripted and put together movie. There’s not a lot of “nothing happening” scenes. Most of the scenes are either always moving the plot forward or quickly developing the characters while moving the plot forward. There’s just enough breathing room for character development, but the film always keeps its pace. It’s just so tightly scripted and executed for a silly monster movie. It honestly should be mentioned more often alongside The Thing which is similarly tightly structured.
I was thinking about how an episode of Bob’s Burgers is able to have a convoluted but hole-free plot but hundred million dollar movies can’t. And it’s because the budget isn’t a hundred million dollars for Bob’s. So there isn’t a ton of producers trying to put their mark on a big movie they don’t understand at all. No directors being sent of to shoot inconsequential scenes while second unit shoots the stuff the goes into the movie. All that shit.
Tremors
Upvote for Tremors which has to be the best awful movie I’ve ever seen. Like, so bad it wraps around and becomes great.
