First-Ever Negative Rating: Blood Beach and Tremors

Grab your suntan lotion and a high-powered rifle — Chopping It Up is going underground this week with a double dose of "something's eating people from below the ground." First: 1980's forgotten cult oddity Blood Beach, where John Saxon and Bert Young investigate Santa Monica beachgoers getting sucked into the sand — a movie so thin it needed Ray Liotta AND Matthew Modine to almost play the lead before they settled on someone else entirely. Then: Tremors, the movie that made Kevin Bacon a Saturday-afternoon-cable legend, still just as fun 35 years later as Bacon and Fred Ward battle giant graboids in Perfection, Nevada. One of these earns a glowing rewatch. The other just made TV history — Sledd hands out the first-ever NEGATIVE meat-cleaver rating in show history. Guess which is which.
