No. If you want real supernatural horror that will make you crap your pants, watch aliens. If you want supernatural horror that will make you ball your eyes out and/or crap your pants watch Interview with a vampire (made me want to BE a vampire). If you want real supernatural horror that will send you into epileptic shock I reccomend watching The Ring. If you want a horror/comedy that you can laugh then scream at watch almost anything out there including, but not limited to , Friday 13th, Nightmare on Elm street, Psycho, any hitchcock flick, the shining , etc.

Tremors is a boorish waste of a good movie. Sorry :(.

I thought tremors (the first movie) was cool when it came out, but that was a long time ago. The 2nd and 3rd movies were definitely less interesting. I think they were direct to video? Anyway, i never have seen the series because I completely lost interest.

[B]People honestly think Tremors is trying to be piss-your-pants scary? There are different levels and grades of the genre. Tremors is one of those comedic-monster movies, in my opinion. It shouldn't even be compared to Aliens. [/B][/QUOTE]

That's exactly what I thought. It's meant to be tongue-in-cheek.

I personally thought the first one was the best. It had the best humour, the better characters and the novelty was there too.

The second was alright, sequel-worthy at least, but it was still a little tired. There was something lost in it that didn't make it as good as the first, perhaps the writing *shrugs*

The third was watchable, but as close to unwatchable as it can get without me switching over. I foud it rather bland, the characters were worn out and the humour wasn't as good. Plus [spoiler]they killed Miguel. Dammit.[/spoiler]

I had no idea there was a TV series, though.

[size=1]I thought the first and second Tremors movies were pretty good, but after that it just got boring. They did not really introduce anything new and exciting. I mean, the second one was good because after the first all we thought those things could do was burrow underground. The second one broke that mold by having the creatures be able to move on top of the land. The third, however, fell into a [i]pattern[/i] by then, logically, moving them to the air. Predictable.

If you are going to make a trilogy, one really has to make sure that the third is almost nothing like the first two, lol. You want to end it with a bang.

I never even bothered with the series. That is when you know it has just gone too far, lol.[/size]

Well, at least the third movie didn't make them swim. Then we'd have some kind of a Tremors/Jaws looking piece of work. [i]That[/i] would be bad, to say the least.

I likd the first movie. The second one was okay. I never saw the third, but I heard about the general plot.

Tremors was a lot of things, but it was hardly trying to be scary. I think it was supposed to be campy. Nothing about it gave off of "we're trying to scare you, Oooooh" vibe.

[SIZE=1][COLOR=dodgerblue]I thought they wereall rather funny movies. I didn't think of them scary at all. More of a comedic-monster film. I also want to point out that I thought they were rather stupid and weren't very good.But thats only my thought..Because like seriously, is a big slimy worm thing going to scary me?

My god, Drix...you are such a fool. When did you think that Aliens is "real supernatural horror?" It's sci-fi/horror/action/adventure.

Don't try to tell me that your definition of "supernatural" deals with anything that isn't...natural in terms of film. Your other two suggestions (Interview and The Ring) totally contradict your interpretation of Aliens. By including Interview and The Ring in your "supernatural" selection, you're effectively giving Aliens that similar vibe, which means you're giving Aliens a ghostly and generally romanticized view of horror, and since you portray yourself to be a man of the world (even though you're only 22), you should realise that Aliens is by no means connected to Interview and The Ring by your definition.

Aliens is sci-fi/horror/action/adventure, with less emphasis on horror and more the other 3.

Oh, and don't continue to accuse others of not living in reality or not accepting reality when you try to disvalue Tremors by proclaiming it as trying to be a serious (or "real supernatural horror") movie. It isn't. Any moviegoer with half a brain should realise that Tremors was never meant to be a serious horror film. It's tongue-in-cheek humor, much like the Evil Dead series. It's camp.

I think before you interject moronic advice, do re-evaluate your cinematic interpretations and values, as they're totally unbecoming of one with your pompous attitude who really doesn't know what they're talking about concerning film. Leave the discussions to the big boys.

Start practicing what you preach. Accept reality. If you believe Tremors to portray itself as a serious horror movie, then you are NOT in touch with reality. Sorry to break it to you, bud, but your interpretation is totally erroneous.

Also, before you criticise others for poor grammar and spelling, take a look at your posts. You're 22. You should know how to spell "sentence" correctly. And might I add, not "reccomend." It's "recommend."

Now, Tremors. Totally fun flick. Good Saturday afternoon movie. If you need a quick laugh, Tremors is definitely the way to go--that is, if you can't get your hands on Monty Python.

Tremors is really a parody of the "horror" genre, in that it skews the very notions of what horror is. Firstly, it takes place primarily in the day (usually unheard of in the genre), it features abundant amounts of one-liners and funny one-liners to boot.

The performances are exactly what they needed to be: camp. Fred Ward, Kevin Bacon...cheesy roles played beautifully. There's a great dynamic between their characters.

The movie is very well done...pity the sequels took it downhill (which is to be expected with most sequels) and the TV series was...how should I put this...unwatchable lol.

My my my. Aren't we all getting confrontational?
Poison, try to keep it down a notch. I understand that you think Drix was wrong to assume [i]Tremors[/i] attempted to be scary, but did you honestly find it necessary to insult his intelligence? And if that jab at Drix was related to a prior conversation from outside of this thread, then keep it outside of this thread.
