Summary: Should be called "Tremors 4: The Franchise is Ruined"
Review: This movie is really boring. I couldn't even finish it.

The first hour goes by and nothing happens but bickering among the characters about this and that and where to camp and what advice to give a child and how to shoot straight and a bunch of other things that don't develop the plot at all. A whole scene is wasted on a funeral for a character we never even knew when he was alive.

The first three Tremors flicks were good. The first one was superb, the second was pretty good, and the third one was still a good time even if it left something to be desired. This fourth one stinks so bad I can't believe it's even part of the franchise. It plods along like a really bad made-for-TV flick, and the thin budget is evident throughout. My mind kept wandering while I waited for something to happen.

The graboids hardly put in any appearances and when they do, it's in the dark so we can't see them. I don't think these people had any money for even minimal special effects.

Don't waste your money. If you have movies 1-3, leave it at that and leave this one alone. It's a total turkey.

Summary: Awsome
Review: Tremors 4 this is my 11th favorite movie of all time...it's way better than the Lord of the Rings Trilogies (which I found frankly a little not realistic). I liked it that it took place in time way back in the 1800's and was historically correct (with miners and everything-my grandfather was a miner and he really loved the movie and found it authentic). Movies that take place in the past are always more artistic and I think this movie is a lot like The English Patient and The Godfather but I have to admit I haven't seen those movies.

Michael Gross I am glad was in it even though he played the grandson in the first three movies-it makes sense because it was his ancestor this time and so it would look like him-duh! The action was to the moon-if you love action you should buy this. The product placement I found to be a little intrusive-even if Cheetos existed in the 1800's I would find it unlikely that giant carnivorous worms would eat them. I liked the tremors being replaced by CSI.

It's hard to think where the series will go from here-the tremors in part 2 could walk and part 3 could fly, now 4 is the prequel like the new Star Wars movies. I think the next movie should have tremors with eyes and maybe they'll have a time machine so they can go to the future. Also I would like to see talking tremors-maybe a hannibal lecter type thing. If you're going to order this, remember this is a Digital Video Disc and can't play in ordinary VCR's.

Summary: For those who say this is for "die hard fans only"...
Review: What the hell have you been smoking? Tremors 4 not only has the same entertainment value as Tremors 1, but also has better acting and effects than the prior two sequels, along with a much more interesting story. Plus you can watch this movie without having seen any of the others and still enjoy it (and understand it).

It is, of course, even more of a jewel for prior Tremors fans. It's yet another classic twist on the underground monster story, and there were so many moments in this that I loved I couldn't possibly list them all. For a tiny budget b-movie I am continually amazed how great these Tremors films are, and how crappy all the new $200-million cgi-loaded bad-acting un-funny "blockbusters" are.

We need more movies like this.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Going Strong
Review: When I saw the original Tremors back in the day, I had no idea it would go on this long. Then again, I had no idea that Children Of The Corn would go on(who actually watches those?) or Hellraiser. Tremors is one of the few horror series' that hasn't lost it's integrity-the same can't be said for Children Of The Corn which was rotten from the first sequel to this very day. No, Tremors isn't high class horror, and it's not gonna win any awards, but you can almost always be certain that a Tremors film will be a relatively painless hour and a half. Tremors 4 is no exception; It's not bad, it's amusing it's funny. No, I'm not gonna watch it ten or twenty times, but I admire the effort, and I like the fact that the same group of people has been doing these films from the first one on. Also, the highest point for me was a way-too-short role by the creepiest actor in film history, Billy Drago. He is always fascinating to watch and this film could have benefitted greatly by his character sticking it out till the end. But it seems to be a Hollywood rule that Billy Drago be killed in (almost) every film he's in. Basically it's as simple as this: If you like the Tremors films, you'll like Tremors 4.
