This country horror comedy announced a swarm of exploitation of rednecks in weird situations (vampires, and all the monsters you can think of).
It follows two losers Val and Earl that do just about anything in a small town trying to survive. Their dream is to go to the bigger town Bixby and try their luck there, but something is about to prevent them from leaving. A strange underground creature, called Graboid will start to kill everything that it is in its path. Survivors gather on the roof of the local convenient store thinking on ways how to outsmart the creature. Special effects are pretty old school, without CGI or anything similar, just good old eighties effects that look pretty funny by todays standards but are still cute in some way. The chemistry between Kevin Bacon and Fred Ward is just amazing and its a shame that they did not reunite them in the sequels. Enjoy.

Fun Stuff: S.S. Wilson said that he got the idea for the film while he was working for the US Navy in the California desert. While resting on a rock, he imagined what it might be like if something underground kept him from getting off the rock.
