Beneath Perfection

I found this script on www.simplyscripts.com/movie.html i had never heard of the film, however within the first 30 pages or so thought it was setting up a little like something from an x files episode.

The Events as read from the script.
We begin in a small town which is more like a village called BENEATH PERFECTION in the middle of the desert some were near Vegas USA. We begin the film with two characters Edgar and Fred, Edgar's has a donkey which is mutualated during the night in a vicious way leaving blood all over the barn.
We then meet a couple of labourers/ handy men Earl and Valentine (Val) and the story centres around them, they have had enough of the labour and decided to get permanent jobs in the local town Bixby, but on their way out of town they come across Edgar strapped dead from dehydration up an electrical pylon, they unstrap him and take him to the doctor in the town and try leaving again, when they come across Fred who has been sucked into the ground with no trace but is old hat and a hole, they drive off again and come across bodies. Earlier the road worker Carmine gets sucked into the ground by a tenticle with spins along it, orange gew spurts out as he hits it with a jackhammer, and Howard another road worker is eaten by hungry beaked like monsters.
Earl and Val come across the a road works truck previously owned by Howard and Carmine Earl and Val get attacked by the beast in the car but manage to escape with part of it still attached to their truck and race back to the towns general store owned by a Chinese man named Phan Vam. The Entire village are there to see the tenticle stuck to the back of Earls truck and they discuss what it might be.
There is a geology student named Rhonda doing test on the local area but she is recording abnormal results, when the beast comes for her, but just misses her by inches as she drives off unaware that a beast was ever there.
The group of villagers decide action must be taken and arm themselves.
Val and Earl decide to leave on horse back, but whilst they are getting ready a kid from the village runs out the store with the tentacle around him screaming, everyone points they rifles at him until he falls over laughing and the village return to see earl and val off, they come across the doctors house were the beast/ monster has already been and killed the doc and his wife, bearing them in the ground inside their station wagon. they ride on but after a while their horses are spooked and buck and one gets eaten by the monster; whilst the other gallops off as fast as possible val picks earl of the ground val shoots one of the tentacle it lets go of the horse and disappears into the ground and comes up underneath were they are standing, the hole opens revealing a huge mouth, both the men run for it along a barbed wire fence, the approach a 8 foot gorge in the ground and the fence goes all the way to it. they jump for it and don't make it frantically try to get out. the beast now underground comes up on the gorge but stops dead as it hits a concrete wall in the gorge and seems to die. They find Rhonda looking down at them she has recorded some more earth tremor's. She works out there are about four more out in the groundof the desert. They begin getting reading indicating more are on there way to them. They run for Rhonda's truck a monster comes out and they jump onto a boulder were they are trapped all night. Morning comes and Rhonda comes up with an idea of pole vaulting from boulder to boulder. They reach her truck and drive back to the town store. The three gather the villagers and tell them whats happening and then the monsters hit town. The monsters trap the villagers into the store, val and earl save a few helpless villages from being eaten but still find themselves stuck in the store. The next plan is to hike across the mountains to Bixby due to the mountains being granite and the monsters seem to only move in loose dirt.
As they Hid in the store a compressor for one of the fridges turns on they dash to turn it off but the monster is already there grabbing Phams leg and pulls him back down the hole from wince it came. They all clamber up onto the roof of the store.
They're friends Burt and Heather return to their house after finding nothing to hunt down they switch on a cartridge cleaner and the noise begins to bring the worm like monsters towards them. They fight it off finally killing it with an elephant gun. The remaining four creatures surround the store, they move around all the buildings in the village as a pack trying to work out were the people have gone. They make a plan so as not to be around when the entire village is flattened they use a garden tractor as a distraction and try to use a bulldozer to drive up to the mountains, the distracting tractor stop and the monster begin to chase Val to the bulldozer. Val heads for town with the bulldozer fired up. Val And Earl rescue the villages and head up to pick up Heather and Burt who are making bombs.
They reach the solid rock at the bottom of the mountain and see a dust cloud near them, the bulldozer falls into a ditch that the worms have created. Burt starts to through the bombs into the ground, the worms scatter due to the noise, they return. The group decide to run for some rocks.
They begin to argue as they realise they are not safe yet, however they come up with a plan to destroy the remaining worms, they through the bombs into the monsters mouths by using rope to lure the worms up to the surface, a type of fishing. They end up killing all the worm monsters and those who are still alive live happily ever after.
The End

It turns out i have seen this film it is called 'Tremors' staring Kevin Bacon. I like the script it is fun, dramatic and has good posiblity's for action sequences.
Remembring back to the film, the first hour or so was a good watch taken quite serioulsy, however once the film reveals the monster it became a bit of a joke. This may have been down to the lake of funds after all the stunts with people being sucked though floors and having building moving/being pulled apart, or prehaps it was due to being made without the us of CGI as is was not very advanced in the 80's when the film was made.
If i were to make this film i do not think i would change much however instead of making it quite tounge in cheek due to the monster i would use CGI and make it alot more scary; as when you do not see the beast you use your imagination which turn out to be alot more scary than what you end up seeing on the screen, therefore some CGI would certainly cause more panic when seeing the beast.
The main subtext in this script is human survival, the most primal instincts we have; when threatened we become killers. Stess is also an emotion i saw alot of, which made the script more dramatic. The main characters in the script are Earl and Val, who's mind we see most of the script through, they are both hand men/ cowboys that do odd jobs, Texan.
