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.
