  Say goodbye to the small town of Perfection, Nevada and say hello to Mexico. Fred Ward and Michael Gross reprise their roles in the Tremors sequel to save Mexico from Graboids, prehistoric, worm-like monsters that live underground. Right off the bat you can tell this sequel is going to do a really good job of capturing what made Tremors such a great movie: The blend of horror and comedy. Again, it works. Another thing I really liked about the first movie were the characters. Tremors 2 has less characters than the original and that was a downplay. Christopher Gartin's character could've done a better job at being a replacement for Kevin Bacon's character in Tremors, but it's a passable gripe. Helen Shaver is in it and she is pretty hot for her age. One thing I forgot to mention in my review for Tremors is how I loved that the special effects are all animatronics and no CGI. Don't get me wrong, I like CGI, but only when it's absolutely necessary for a movie and not overdone. (Are you listening Michael Bay?) The animatronics in this and Tremors are great and I love that it's all puppetry. Another good thing about the movie is how much more action-packed it turns out to be. I wasn't expecting it, but I enjoyed it. Something worth mentioning is some people who have heard of this movie but never seen are often like "Oh, a sequel to Tremors, there's nothing new, it's just set in Mexico this time." Well frankly, there is something new: The Graboids evolve. That's right, giant worms can have a life cycle. Overall, this movie is funny, exciting, well acted, well written and a really good sequel.

  Evolution: It's a bitch Good fun movie. This movie is not scary at all, it just thrilling and a joy to watch. Nice sequel. When an army of Graboids - giant, carnivorous underground worms - threaten the Petromaya oil refinery in Mexico, its owners call on Earl Bassett, who once helped kill four of the creatures in Perfection, Nevada. Having squandered the money that came from his resulting celebrity status, Earl is convinced by the $50,000-a-head bounty offered, as well as the enthusiasm of admirer Grady Hoover, who becomes his partner. At Petromaya, Earl and Grady meet geologist Kate Reilly, and begin Graboid hunting, tricking several Graboids into swallowing bomb-rigged, remote-controlled cars. When they find they're facing a lot more Graboids than they ever expected, Earl calls his friend Burt Gummer, a survivalist who arrives well-stocked with weapons.

  Tremors II: Aftershock build on the previous film, and this time the grabboids have invaded an area of Mexico, Earl and Burt are hired to exterminate them. This film has a more ambitious storyline than the first one because there is a lot more action going on, and obviously Burt's involved and there's more firepower involved. Tremors 2 is a fine little film that continues to built on the success of the first, but it won't top the original. Tremors II offers everything you'd expect from a Tremors film, Comedy, Guns, monsters and thrills. This series is one of the best Horror Comedy series out there and these movies are to please fans of both genres

  A fairly poo follow up, has its moments but the new Graboids are rubbish!

• Dean M

  
  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 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.

  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?

• Jason S

  
  Eh. It's ok but not as good as the first one. Some of the coolness of the creature goes away when they are able to spawn mini versions of themselves and walk around.

  One of those movies you watch over and over as a kid, and it just sticks with you. Entertaining flick....A different feel than the original.

  This was my favorite of all 4 of the <i>Tremors</i> series. The story is a bit lame compared to the first one, but it was more entertaining. If you like big guns then you may enjoy the rifle handled by Michael Gross in this one.

  Pretty good for a B movie sequel. I love fred ward's character too much, and it's too bad Bacon wouldn't do it.

  I remember seeing commercials for this and thinking to myself "They made a Tremors 2? Why in gods name did they do that?". Considering the franchise has four films and a short lived TV series apparently I was greatly low-balling the ambition of the producers. Tremors 2, to its credit, advances the mythology of the Graboids and also brings back two popular characters from the original film. It's basically just a junky, campy sequel but if you're hungry for more Graboid action it should at least suffice.

  For a straight-to-DVD sequel, this film actually works quite well. The opening act is a bit long and the new creatures do not come until well into the film, but they are well worth the wait, remaining the one of the only elements that make this film stick out. Also, for 1995 and what was probably a smaller budget, the graphics are astounding. I am glad that Fred Ward and Michael Gross reprise their roles and at least keep this film interesting.

  The sequel to 1989's horror/thriller Tremors, Tremors 2 also has offensive racial stereotypes, horrible special effects, and pitiful sexual appeal, but this time it lacks the anchor of a Kevin Bacon's stardom to keep it from floating away. Fred Ward stars as Earl Bassett, who in the first Tremors helped kill and stop an infestation of oversized killer worms along with Valentine McKee, who was played by Kevin Bacon. McKee gets a lot of money for capturing the species, and so does Bassett, but he spends it all irresponsibly on beer and ostriches. Bassett then spends the rest of his days moping about his loss at fame and fortune, when one day a Mexican oil-field worker comes by in a taxi complaining that killer worms had infested his oil-fields, killing his workers, and that the Mexican army would supply Bassett with anything he could need, if only he would help them kill the worms. Coincidentily, the taxi driver that drove the oil-worker there was a big fan of Bassett's work and the killer worms, so he persuades Bassett into taking the job and head to the hills to start a killer worm massacre. But there's a twist! The killer worms evolve into two legged beetle things that can sense heat, hence becoming a new obstacle that Bassett and co. must defeat. What struck me about this film was that since the worms become land dwelling, heat sensoring beings, then the title "Tremors" no longer applies to the series. These new monsters are not only less realistic than the worms, but lack a presence on the screen that invokes fear from the audience all together. Fred Ward, Michael Gross, and Helen Shaver all do a poor job with their acting; escpecially Fred Ward. He tryed to act suprised and confused throughout this whole movie, and I still have that image of him in my head where his eyes wide are open, looking spastically around as if constantly paranoid that someone is watching him. Of course someone's watching you, you're in a movie stupid! The plot is suspenseful, the script is sparce, and the supporting cast is unbearable, but overall this smashes together as a comedy action thriller with a bad excuse for some entertaining violence.

  A sequel that is far better than it has a right to be. Fred Ward and Michael Gross return from the original Tremors to battle both the "Graboids" and the new creatures they evolve to, known as "Shriekers". These new creatures walk above ground, and sense body heat. To them, heat equals food. Guess who's on the menu? Christopher Gartin joins the cast as a gung ho fan of Ward, and he is the voice for the audience. He's how we'd all be if we were suddenly in the middle of this whole situation. New situations are faced, new ideas are hatched to defeat the new creatures, and new allies are made along the way. Made directly for video, the movie was made by the creators of the original, and they manage to keep the tone and pace of the first Tremors. There are equal amounts of laughs, scares, and colorful characters to carry us through. The worms turn to, but they're not stupid animals, and watching the humans match wits with them is a big part of the fun. An exciting, well made sequel that set the stage for the additional installments to come.
