The Classic Film: Tremors (1990)
"Natives of a small isolated town defend themselves against strange underground creatures which are killing them one by one” (IMDb.com). Tremors is a television classic from our youth and we can't believe it's taken us this long to get to it. This valley is just one long smorgasbord!
The Modern Film: The Host (2006)
"A monster emerges from Seoul's Han River and begins attacking people. One victim's loving family does what it can to rescue her from its clutches” (IMDb.com). From the oscar-winning writer/director of Parasite, Bong Joon Ho's The Host was at one point the biggest movie to come out of South Korea, and you should definitely find out what the hype's all about.
