From Dusk Till Dawn 8/10

Tremors 7/10

Been many, many, many years since the last time I saw these two flicks.

I remember the first time I saw From Dusk Till Dawn I throught it was one of the best horror movies I'd ever seen. Fast forward to today and after watching From Dusk Till Dawn I started on Tremors, and at the 30 minutes mark I was thinking to myself; Man, has my taste in movies changed as I've matured? Tremors is just better paced and the tongue-in-cheek dialogue better written. Then the next hour went and, no, I hadn't matured one bit.

So without further ado, here's From Dusk Till Dawn vs Tremors.

1. When it comes to the lead actors I thougt both Clooney and Bacon played their
characters very, very well and they both did a rock solid job. So that's a tie.

2. When it comes to dialogue Tremors is just more clever written where From
Dusk Till Dawn just so badly wants to be cool that it becomes tiresome before
the halfway mark. Heck, they might as well have Clooney just saying "I'm a
bad ass" throughout the entire movie. Actually, that would have been hilarious.

3. Story wise Tremors leads in the first third as both dialogue and pacing is great.
But then they got stuck on a rock. And after that they get stuck on a roof. And
after that they got stuck on a tractor. And after that they get stuck on a rock
again. The end. Just gets waaaay too repetitive. Probably due to a limited
budget.

So I considered giving them the same rating, but no, the limited progression in Tremors weighted it down too much.

I HAVE SPOKEEEEEN!!!
