Fred Ward, Christopher Gartin, Helen Shaver

When a remote Mexican oilfield comes down with a nasty case of Graboids (for the uninitiated: giant carnivorous worms with tunneling abilities that put Bugs Bunny to shame), it's up to those veteran m...( read more  read more... )onster exterminators Burt and Earl (Michael Gross and the wonderful Fred Ward, reprising their roles from the first film) to save the day--and accumulate some much-needed payola in the process. But this time, the slimy critters may have a few new tricks up their...um, sleeves. Although denied a chance to appear in theaters, this unjustly neglected sequel delivers the same winning mixture of cornpone and gore that made the original Tremors a cult classic. A hoot-and-a-half for horror and SF fans, with some genuine scares and a welcome sense of humor. --Andrew Wright

    A fairly poo follow up, has its moments but the new Graboids are rubbish!
  • February 21, 2008
    as fresh as it's predecessor thanks to some new ideas thrown in there in the mix. fred ward was still in it. the only let down was it wasn't the same without kevin bacon, but generally you can't beat the comedy horror that the series has to offer up. liked the mini baby graboids ...( read more)that sprouted legs! brilliant scene where fred ward decides to set one of the bombs off in the shed and michael gross is telling them they may need to run a bit further! haha. classic stuff. chris gartin was funny in it... but he was no bacon

    Not a bad sequel to the cult classic first. No Kevin Bacon this time but his partner from the first film is back. Working as a Graboid exterminator, down in Mexico. This time round can they get any smarter?

    The first wasn't great, but it wasn't bad. As usual, they HAD to go make a bad sequel.
  • July 12, 2007
    Stick with the first one, there's nothing new here.
  • September 26, 2009
    ok Kevin Bacon est pu la c'est passable sans trop dire bon,et il manquait de budget pour faire des vers

    The humour is good funny, the special effects have been elaborated, and Michael Gross's gun-welding character Burt Gummer is cool. Not as good as the first, but pretty close. Christopher Gartin is a weak replacement for Kevin Bacon.

    Most of the time, sequels to great movies aren't nearly as great as the original. "Tremors 2 - Aftershocks" is an exception. It's more adventurous and a lot more entertaining than the first Tremors movie was. This time, the people are up against a new kind of monster. Instead of ...( read more)the huge wormlike creatures that terrorized them in the first movie, some much smaller creatures are in this one. The creatures in this movie see by infrared (by heat), instead of by movement. They also reproduce very quickly.
    "Tremors 2 - Aftershocks" is a better movie than the first Tremors movie in my opinion because it has more of a sense of adventure and moves at a faster pace than the first one did. I recommend anybody to get this movie. NOTE: That was my Amazon review from the year 2000.

    any tremors is a good tremors...unless it's in the old west...but we'll disregard that.
