It seems like you’re referring to a movie involving “Graboids,” which are the monstrous creatures from the Tremors franchise. Graboids are the iconic, underground-dwelling, worm-like creatures featured in the Tremors series, which began with the first film released in 1990.
To clarify, there isn’t a movie specifically titled The Graboids, but rather the Tremors films feature these creatures as central antagonists. Here’s a quick rundown of the Tremors series:
The original film follows a small town in Nevada, called Perfection, where residents must fight for their lives against giant, subterranean creatures known as Graboids. These creatures are drawn to vibrations on the ground and can sense movement above them, making them incredibly dangerous. The main characters, including handyman Valentine (played by Kevin Bacon) and survivalist Burt Gummer (played by Michael Gross), must use their wits to survive and eliminate the Graboids before they take over the town.
This sequel introduces new types of creatures related to the Graboids called Shriekers. The Graboids evolve, and the action shifts to Mexico, where a new group of characters must deal with these creatures, who are now even more dangerous.
In this third installment, the creatures continue to evolve, with even more deadly versions of the Graboids, and the action returns to the original town of Perfection, Nevada. The film explores new ways the creatures have adapted, including the development of Ass-Blasters, another stage in the Graboid’s life cycle.
A prequel that takes place in the late 1800s, this movie tells the origin story of the Graboids and how they first appeared in the town of Perfection.
