Two very different monster movies for our Halloween screenings this year!! The second being Tremors (1990) which we'll be showing on Wednesday Oct 28!
Our good friend Holly Hughes is presenting Tremors for us! And here's what she has to say about the film..
"It’s an honour to be presenting a film at MHFS, especially a film I’ve loved since childhood and have seen so many times I could probably quote it from start to finish. I can’t wait to take you all on a trip to Perfection, Nevada: the sun-soaked small town setting of 1990’s cult classic Tremors!
Starring Kevin Bacon and Fred Ward as down-and-out handymen just trying to get out of town, Tremors is a delightful horror/comedy/adventure about a quirky ensemble cast of desert outcasts coming together to face off against a common enemy - giant maneating worms! Inspired by drive-in double-features of Westerns and atomic monster B-movies, Tremors is a genre-mash bonanza. It’s got memorable characters, charming humour and amazing practical creature effects. With it’s sunny daytime setting and frequent comedic beats, Tremors isn’t the scariest horror movie, but it is a fu***ng great time - pardon my French.
And if you want to dig a little deeper...just beneath the surface, you may find unexpected themes in this silly monster movie homage: a shifting American frontier for the working poor at the end of the ‘80s, a surprisingly progressive gender roles for a genre film, and you could even do a Freudian analysis on the particular shape of the monsters - actually, no, don’t do that.
But honestly, it’s just an incredibly fun monster movie and if you’ve never seen it before, there’s no better way to watch it than with the MHFS crew! There’s so much to love about Tremors, I’m sure something will grab ya!"
