Netflix loves breathing eerie new life into old legends, digging up forgotten classics for today’s thrill-hungry viewers. One 90s creature feature that clawed its way out of an early grave is Tremors

The film’s gruesome charm birthed six sequels and a short-lived TV show, though the original creators only stuck around for part of the chaos. Now, fans are trembling once more, wondering if this beast still slithers onto Netflix.
Tremors
