The Tremors franchise has shown remarkable staying power. Since the first film’s release in 1990, the franchise has seen four sequels and a 13-episode TV series see the light of day. Supposedly, Amazon has another TV series on the way, this time featuring original star Kevin Bacon. Tremors and Tremors 2: Aftershocks get most of the praise from fans but Tremors 3: Back to Perfection, […]...

The 1990 cult classic monster movie Tremors has spawned four sequels (with another on the way) but are they any good?
This article contains spoilers for the assorted Tremors movies.
You’d be hard-pressed to find someone who hates Tremors. In fact, while I was watching these sequels I ran a quick poll online asking people to choose their favourite 90s monster movie and Tremors won in an absolute landslide – leaving even the much-beloved Gremlins 2 in the dust.
The original cost a rather humble $11 million to make and made $5 million profit at the box office. Not a huge amount, but its subsequent popularity on home release and TV means that, 26 years later, we’ve just received word that a sixth instalment has gone into production. It seems the Tremors love is still very much alive and kicking (or should that be ‘squirming’?).

*full disclosure: a Blu-ray screener of this film was provided by Universal Pictures Home Entertainment for review. Director: Don Michael Paul. Writers: M.A. Deuce, C.J. Strebor, William Truesmith and John Whelpley. Cast: Michael Gross, Jamie Kennedy. More than ten years after the last Tremors film, Tremors 4: The Legend Begins, (which is actually a prequel) the flesh-hungry graboids are back for more blood! Too bad nobody cares. This fifth film in the series is a sequel to Tremors 3: Back to Perfection. Even with the return of franchise star Michael Gross ("Family Ties") as Burt Gummer, and the addition of another horror franchise star, Jamie Kennedy, (Scream series) almost nothing is salvageable from the wreckage of this unnecessary fifth installment. Admittedly, this viewer has not seen any of the Tremors sequels, but thoroughly enjoyed the 1990 original, so was hoping for at least some cheesy B-Movie-type entertainment. Unfortunately, entertainment was not high on the agenda.

Kevin Bacon has said that he would love to star in a sequel to cult western horror movie Tremors.
The actor played lead character Valentine 'Val' McKee in the 1990 original, but did not star in any of its direct-to-video follow-ups or TV spinoff.
Asked which of his past movies would benefit from modern special effects, Bacon told Metro: "Definitely Tremors but part of what's great about that movie is there are next to no digital effects.
"The monsters are done with puppetry, and it's still odd, funny and scary - it's a cool accomplishment.
"I'd love to do something else with Tremors and revisit the character 25 years later."
Sequel Tremors 2: Aftershocks was released in 1996, followed by Tremors 3: Back to Perfection (2001), Tremors 4: The Legend Begins (2004) and the 13-episode Sci-Fi Channel show Tremors (2003).
A fifth direct-to-video movie Tremors 5: Bloodline is due for release later this year, but will also not star Bacon.

Last year we ran a schedule of every TV/Cable network schedule we could find that could be construed as Horror or Halloween related for the month of October. Let’s just say it proved useful for our readers and even for our staff when they were looking to find something to watch, wanted to program their DVR’s or didn’t want to miss out on some great “live” Horror. Isn’t there something about having a movie fed to you on TV as opposed to watching it on Blu-ray or DVD or streaming? We may not like commercials, but the randomness that you can associate with a TV program itinerary is novel. It removes a little bit of control from the audience who is all to concerned with being in control these days (just look at the reasons behind publishing a piece like this).
