Filming has begun:
Intrepid creature hunter Burt Gummer and his son Travis find themselves in a remote hotbed of giant man-eating worms in the newest action-packed entry in the wildly popular Tremors franchise. Currently in production in Cape Town, South Africa, this outrageous horror comedy finds the pair at a remote research station where they come under attack by what Burt fears could be weaponized Graboids. Tremors 6 will be released on Blu-ray, DVD and Digital HD in 2018 from Universal 1440 Entertainment, a production entity of Universal Pictures Home Entertainment.
This, by the way, is one of the reasons why I want to get the DVD hookup to work in the exercise room: the Tremors series calls to me on DVD, and watching while exercising is the perfect combo. Hmm. And maybe Eight-Legged Freaks, which is a movie that is infinitely better than it has any right to be…
Were any of the films past the first one (which is a perfect film) any good?
I can authoritatively speak to Tremors 2, which I liked and which got some faintly surprised props from people (as did Tremors 3). Tremors 1 is, as you say, perfect. Didn’t catch 4 or 5.
4 is enjoyable, being set in 1889 and showing, among others, Burt’s ancestor (who, in some ways, is the anti-Burt). And there’s a scene with a concertina!
I liked all five of them, but I’m also not looking for Shakespeare with this kind of movie.
8-legged freaks is a favorite, but Tremors IS perfect. I gripe about modern film all the time, but I can’t think of anything that would improve that film.
For goofy monster sci fi Evolution hits the spot.
I will second this. David Duchovny, Orlando Jones, Julianne Moore all do a good job in it, and it’s amusing seeing Dan Aykroyd as the state governor.
Tremors was the movie that taught me why guys take girls to see horror movies.
