Editors' Picks: Not-So-Scary Movies For Scaredy Cats3 of 17
Tremors | Available for rent on VOD
Plot: Natives of a small isolated town defend themselves against strange underground creatures which are killing them one by one.
Our Take: The creature features of the 1950s may be a bit too dated and campy to generate chills anymore, but I've always loved 1990's Tremors as an effective throwback alternative to those flicks. The movie strikes a great balance of humor and scares, without ever leaning too far in either direction, and never takes itself seriously enough that you're going to leave scarred or afraid to turn out the lights. — James
