If the Tremors franchise weren't so grounded within Mother Earth, this would've been the requisite In Space sequel, but they've instead opted for the double-twist -- a WESTERN PREQUEL!!! So, diehards mount up, while casual viewers should get the heck out of Dodge -- make that Perfection, no, REJECTION as it's known in the olden days. It's a far more fitting name, especially once Graboids make combo meals of unsuspecting silver miners. In fact, this is what draws the attention of the great, great, great, great grand pappy of Burt Gummer, Tremors' notorious survivalist and one-man army, played with always-amusing conviction by Michael Gross (no kin of yours truly). Here, he's returned to his Family Ties roots as a COMPLETE WEENIE forced to call upon a hired gun, CineSchlocker fave Billy Drago as the gloriously grizzled Black Hand Kelly, if there's any prayer of reopening Gummer's mine. After Part 3's Ass Blasters, there's not much here to contribute to the subterranean beastie lexicon -- Graboid hatchlings!?! -- but, goldang it, the series' infectious charm still abounds. CineSchlockers will especially find themselves plum tickled by Hiram's late-blooming celebration of what'd become the Gummer family passion: apocalyptic firepower! No breasts. 22 corpses. Decapitation. Gratuitous Alamo humor. Excessive chaw spitting. Gunfighter guzzling. Pitiful horsemanship. Multiple explosions. Perhaps the best Graboid description of the franchise: They spring from the ground like some DEMONIC TROUT!!!

Elles sont de retour, les créatures géantes sous-terraines de Tremors ! Aujourd'hui, elles terrorisent les champs de pétrole en avalant tout et tout le monde sur leur passage. Un seul homme est capable de les arrêter et, sans lui, rien n'est possible. Tremors 2 est le digne successeur de Tremors, un film de science-fiction avec de monstrueuses créatures. Elle réunit Fred WARD et Michael GROSS, deux baroudeurs du désert qui ont pour mission de détruire ces monstres. Ils sont aidés par Christophe GARTIN, un jeune homme qui a besoin de sensations fortes et de beaucoup d'argent. Sans oublier le sexy Helen SHAVER, une intrépide scientifique qui pensait avoir déjà tout vu ! Ensemble, ils vont mettre au point un plan ingénieux, plein d'action et d'humour pour traquer et anéantir les créatures. Par la même équipe que Tremors et par le créateur des effets spéciaux des créatures de Jurassik Park (Phil TIPPET) et de Jumanji (Alec GILIS et Tom WOODRUFF JR), ce thriller fera trembler la Terre sous vos pieds.
