Kevin Bacon’s ‘Tremors’ Hits Shudder, Revival Talks Heating Up!

by

I, a longtime admirer of the versatile acting talent that is Kevin Bacon, am thrilled to hear about his classic ’90s comedy-horror movie finding a new streaming platform. This comes at an exciting time as whispers of a revival for this beloved film circulate. Before making waves in Hollywood, Bacon kicked off his career with a memorable role in National Lampoon’s Animal House. He then catapulted to fame by embodying the lead character in Footloose. Over the years, he has graced our screens with unforgettable performances in movies like JFK, Mystic River, The River Wild, and A Few Good Men. Bacon’s horror movie repertoire includes Hollow Man and Stir of Echoes, a personal favorite of mine that showcases his chilling acting abilities.

As a cinephile, I can attest that Kevin Bacon has undeniably left an indelible mark on the silver screen with his iconic roles in films such as “Apollo 13,” “Sleepers,” and “Flatliners.” He hasn’t shied away from smaller screens either, gracing us with his presence on Fox’s crime thriller “The Following” and earning a Golden Globe Award for his portrayal of Lieutenant Colonel Michael Strobl in the HBO TV movie “Taking Chance.” However, it is one of Bacon’s lesser-known cult performances that is about to experience a resurgence in fame.

Tremors Is Coming To Shudder

This Could Revive Interest In The Franchise

Under Ron Anderson’s direction and written by Brent Maddock and S.S. Wilson, the monster film titled Tremors debuted in 1990. This movie centered around the inhabitants of a secluded desert town who were besieged by colossal, ancient worm-like creatures. Since then, several sequels have emerged, predominantly released directly to video, with the latest being Tremors: Shrieker Island, which came out in 2020.

In the coming days, it’s been revealed that the classic ’90s horror-comedy film “Tremors” will be available for streaming. This beloved cult favorite from the ’90s is scheduled to debut on the streaming platform on May 1st. Interestingly, its sequels have yet to find a home on a streaming service. Additionally, this announcement follows news that the original creators of the series, Stampede Entertainment, have regained control of the rights and are currently working on a revival in its early stages.

The Franchise Could Get A New Lease Of Life

Though later sequels garnered varying responses from both critics and audiences, the Tremors movie series continues to be a popular choice in the horror genre. Although Universal Pictures and Michael Gross, who starred in all seven films, have not officially confirmed plans for an eighth movie, recent hints by Stampede Entertainment about reviving the franchise could indicate positive developments. The new streaming release of Tremors on Shudder might boost their endeavors.

There have been several failed attempts at reviving or reinventing the Tremors series, including the abandoned Tremors television show. However, the devoted fanbase of the original film and its potential popularity on streaming platforms could pave the way for a new Tremors movie or TV spinoff, especially if Kevin Bacon reprises his role in the cast.
