I recently heard that Tremors 5 was coming out. Turns out it's today. Streaming on Netflix, to boot. That's right, Burt is back to take on a new breed of Graboids. I wish Kevin Bacon or Fred Ward would have been involved but maybe it's for the best. Anyway, as a consolation prize we get Jamie Kennedy. Whoopie.
Tremors 5: Bloodlines aka Tremors goes to Africa (not really) makes it feel like Ernest P. Worrell should be involved. Also, anything with "Bloodlines" in the title already brings down my expectations a little. It just sounds stock and lazy at this point. IMDB states that early rumors had this one taking place in Australia instead of Africa, titling it Tremors 5: Thunder From Down Under. This makes me chuckle.
I have always loved Tremors since the first one came out in 1990. That makes 25yrs of Tremors. They were a frequent rental for me at the vid shop and as the sequels went on the monsters changed, constantly evolving. I always liked that. I also like that it never felt like the films took themselves too seriously, allowing me to overlook the constantly diminishing budget each following film had.
I never caught the TV series and might check that out along with #5. I wanted to see if anyone else out there in marathon land has special place in their hearts for Graboids, Shriekers, and Assblasters? Is the TV series worth a look?
