Rewatching one of my favorite childhood movies, Tremors, a b horror movie starring Kevin Bacon and Fred Ward about underground monsters that hunt by sound, and I want to talk about a specific character.
Tumblr media
Specifically the main female lead and love interest to Kevin Bacon’s Valentine- Rhonda Lebeck.  For a movie made in 1990, Rhonda is a surprisingly feminist portrayal of a female lead (like Laura Dern’s Ellie in Jurassic Park).
Rhonda is a student studying seismic activity in the isolated town of Perfection, Nevada and is constantly acknowledged, by every character int he movie including (and especially) the men, as the smartest person in town.  They constantly ask her opinion and respect her intelligence and never question the fact that a woman is smarter than they are.  Any time she has an idea it is never question because she is a woman and she never has to do that not-really-feminist-a-woman-must-prove-herself thing movies to this day still do.
There is one scene about halfway through the movie where Rhonda gets tangled up in barbed wire and must take off her pants in order to escape the monster dragging her into it’s mouth using said barbed wire.  The scene is in no way played as sexual, or a gratification scene for the men watching the movie.  any close up of Rhonda is shot from the waist up and we only see her bare legs in wider shots meant to showcase the monster, not her half-nakedness.  the only time we see a closeup of her bare legs is when her wounds are being tended to, it only lasts a few moments, and you can see that she has hair on her legs.  Which took me a few re-watches to notice but I feel added to the non-sexual take on her bare legs, as even to this day women in movies and tv are always shaved as smooth as dolphins.
Tumblr media
She also dresses appropriately for the situation she’s in- hiking boots, cargo pants, long sleeved shirt.  Earlier in the movie she wears shorts that aren’t halfway up her ass.  She dresses for doing fieldwork in the middle of the desert and the filmmakers didn’t take it as an opportunity to have her parading around in short shorts and a bikini top like some movies have done to female characters in horror movies.
I just like how Rhonda is treated like a character, not just a two dimensional love interest.  The relationship between her and Valentine is also really sweet and it’s revealed in later movies, that neither character appear in, that they get married and have a daughter together (although it is implied in later movies the two have gotten divorced).
Just a solid character and one of my favorite female characters in a movie.

Movie of the Week - Tremors (1990)
This Review may contain Spoilers
Tumblr media
I. Love. Sandworms.
That's really all I have to say about this movie, it's a pulpy, fun creature feature with great practical effects and a fun cast. It's not particularly deep, nor is it very scary - but my god is it fun! It succeeds in every way a creature feature should: believable and quirky action, solid worldbuilding, and great looking monsters!!! I cannot underestimate how good the grabboid puppets are!!! There awesome!!!!
Tumblr media
One thing I will say this movie does well, beyond perfecting the creature feature form, is how much it packs into 90 minutes. For such a short movie, so much happens and never once does it drag on or become bloated. Each kill and each micro-evolution of the graboids is perfectly spaced to keep the movie going but also to get as much out of the run time as possible.
This review is short, very short, but I'm not going to sit here and pretend that this movie is anything more than it is - the perfect B Movie. An amazing monster movie that's perfect for parties, or taking camping, or watching on a plane. It's not deep, and all the art comes from the amazing work done by the effects team, but that doens't mean it's not one of my favorite "horror" flicks! 8/10.
