Set in the fictional small town of Perfection, Nevada, Tremors introduces us to Val and Earl, played by Bacon and Ward, two handymen who are tired of their mundane lives. They dream of escaping their sleepy town but find themselves caught up in a terrifying situation when a series of mysterious deaths begin to occur. The deaths are linked to underground creatures that the townspeople soon learn are massive, worm-like monsters known as Graboids.

The film’s premise cleverly combines elements of traditional monster horror with a comedic twist. The Graboids are not just mindless killers; they exhibit intelligence and a surprising ability to strategize. This adds an interesting layer to the film, as the characters must think creatively to survive. The humor is woven seamlessly into the story, often arising from the characters’ witty banter and their absurd attempts to fight off the creatures.
