The Grabiods return in stunning 4K from the fine folks at Arrow Video!
Val (Kevin Bacon) and Earl (Fred Ward) are a couple of handymen who get tired of the life in Perfection, Nevada and intend to leave. A bump is thrown into their plan when powerful, worm like creatures attack their small town.
Released in 1990, Tremors is the perfect blend of horror and comedy. There are genuine scares to be had throughout the film, but it succeeds just as equally as a laugh out loud comedy. The film is directed at a break-neck pace by Ron Underwood, who gets the best out of his effects crew and actors. Bacon’s charm is infectious and endearing. Ward’s gruff and grumble Earl is the perfect balance to Bacon’s earnest performance. Reba McIntyre and Michael Gross are game as married couple Burt and Heather, with some heavy hitting weapons for the monsters.
Tremors snatches ahold of your TV with a stunning new 4K UHD presentation. The dust, the dirt, the guts all look striking. Colors pop and clothing and objects have an incredible sense of detail.
Tremors shakes and quakes with a speaker busting DTS-HD Master Audio. The sound design fits the movie perfectly and it is on full display on this disc.
