Tremors

Movie • 1990 • Action  

Report
Hick handymen Val McKee and Earl Bassett can barely eke out a living in the Nevada hamlet of Perfection, so they decide to leave town -- despite an admonition from a shapely seismology coed who's picking up odd readings on her equipment. Before long, Val and Earl discover what's responsible for those readings: 30-foot-long carnivorous worms with a proclivity for sucking their prey underground.
This movie contains 24 potentially triggering events.

No dogs die, but several sheep and horses are eaten by monsters. Cows are implied to have been eaten off-screen.

Domestic sheep and horses are killed by the graboids. I unfortunately can’t provide time stamps at the moment, but the sheep are found dead but killed off screen near the beginning of the movie, and the horses are killed on screen towards the middle whilst Val and Earl try to ride away from the graboids.

The graboids in general like to grab and restrain their victims to pull them into their mouths.

Rhonda gets her legs rolled up and trapped in a barbed wire fence but gets out rather quickly.

Horses, sheep, and the main monsters (graboids) all die during the film. The horses and graboids are actively killed on screen, the sheep are only shown dead.

EDIT:
I now realize that this probably meant characters who are a fantasy race other than human but are still anthropomorphic, but I’ll keep it here still, just in case.

SPOILERS:

Not entirely graphic but worth mentioning just in case. Near the very end of the movie whilst they’re trapped on a rock by the graboids, Burt talks about lighting up one of the pipe bombs he made and walking out into the desert, letting one of the gaboids take him down.

Not exactly hate speech, but there's a Chinese-American character who's heavily stereotyped and the others tease him a lot for being cheap, etc.

It’s honestly more gross than gorey. The guts of dead creatures are seen multiple times and there’s a decent amount of blood on dead sheep.
