With “Godzilla: King of the Monsters” rocking it at the Box Office, it’s time to look at more monster movies. And I will only pick those monster movies that I think I better then most people think they are, or maybe you’ve never heard of them. Here are five films I think are not as well-known or deserve more attention. And I think you should definitely give them a shot.
Arachnophobia
A species of South American killer spider hitches a lift to the US and starts to breed and kill. If you weren’t afraid of spiders, you will be after seeing this film. I think it’s one of the most underrated films in the genre, it’s such a strong thriller. And you will see and feel spiders everywhere once you watched “Arachnophobia”. There is going to be a remake, but I don’t see why. This is a perfectly good film.
Rogue
An American journalist is on an assignment in the Australian outback. He, and a group of tourists, encounter a man-eating crocodile while being trapped on a rapidly flooding mud island. The thought of that little island flooding soon, is really scary. Because you know that all those people have to get into the water at some point. It’s not the best acted film and the special effects don’t always convince, but it’s a pretty terrifying film that always keeps me on the edge of my seat.
Slither
A small town is taken over by an alien plague, turning residents into zombies and all forms of mutant monsters. It’s a film directed by James Gunn and one of the better not-so-known horror flicks featuring creatures. It’s pretty gory, yet very humorous.
Lake Placid
A gigantic crocodile is terrorizing residents in Black Lake, Maine. I always watch this movie when it’s on television. It’s entertaining and a movie you shouldn’t take too seriously. And it has Betty White in it, which is always a plus!
Tremors
Natives of a small isolated town, defend themselves against strange underground creatures which are killing them one by one. The film can be compared to “Slither” somehow, a creature feature with humor in it. I love Michael Gross in this film (he’s the dad from “Family Ties”).

90s Movie Review - Tremors
Director: Ron Underwood
Genre: Action/ Comedy/ Horror/ Thriller
Runtime: 95 minutes
Year: 1990
Starring: Kevin Bacon, Fred Ward, Finn Carter, Michael Gross, Reba McEntire, Charlotte Stewart, Tony Genaro, Ariana Richards, Richard Marcus, Victor Wong, Sunshine Parker, Michael Dan Wagner, Conrad Bachmann, Bibi Besch
Description: Natives of a small isolated town defend themselves against strange underground creatures which are killing them one by one.
Review: Don’t you just love monster movies? In “Tremors” the danger comes from graboids, some kind of giant, hungry worm that lives underground of the little town called Perfection.
At the start of the movie, we see people attack and die by the graboids. And we also meet the characters who have to deal with these creatures. The best part of the film is how it manages to combine action, tension, horror and humor all together. You are curious to what is happening, but it takes some time to really see the monsters. And the film has tempo. Because the character aren’t really safe anywhere, the tension is continuous. The graboids are fast and strong and find their victims due to the tremors of the ground.
As stated before, there is humor in this film. Throughout the entire film.
Kevin Bacon and Fred Ward, not particularly known for their humor, proof that they have a comedic talent. And Michael Gross is probably the funniest part of the film.
The effects are pretty good, especially when you hardly see any computer techniques being used.
“Tremors” is a great example of an exciting movie, that doesn’t lose its tension because of the huge dose of humor. For me, “Tremors” is always a joy to watch.
Rating: 4 / 5
