Sorry, this movie sucks
Powerful
A lot of fun.
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
This is a great movie. The first Tremors movie is scarier. Tremors 2 After Shocks is scarier. But still this is one of the scariest movie form the last decade. It is a lot better then Tremors 3 back to Perfection. That movie is OK but this one is better. This is a prequel to Tremors. It is very scary. It has a great story line. It also has great acting. It also has great special effects. 5.4 is underrating this movie. It is a great movie. I give it 9 out of 10. This movie is a must see. Michael Gross is a great actor. Sara Bostsford is a great actress. S.S Wilson is a great film maker. See this movie. It is the best horror movie from the last decade.
I think Tremors 4 was a little bit better than the 3rd one but it never tops the first and 2nd films in the series. Showing us how this whole thing started was pretty good and having Michael Gross again as a wild west Burt but not so badass was pretty cool as well. I think this one is more comedy than action something that pretty much works this is a great franchise to me and i believe with each sequel it gets even better but i will always choose the first and 2nd films because the effects looked better and the cast was better but i have to admit it the effects on this one were so much better than the ones in the 3rd one it had cgi but not too much. Tremors 4 was a big surprise and i believe it was a great sequel to the franchise.
Tremors 4: The Legend Begins is set during 1889 in Nevada where the residents of a small town named Rejection rely on a nearby silver mine for their income, however things are not well at the silver mine as several miners have been mysteriously killed there & no-one will now go anywhere near it. The mines owner Hiram Gummer (Michael Gross) travels from Philidelphia to see things for himself, he finds an almost deserted town with worried locals & a mine that is crawling with vicious worm like creatures. Hiram sends for a gunfighter & 'Black Hand' Kelly (Billy Drago) turns up, he agrees to kill the creatures but when they find the creatures they have mutated into huge worms that can eat a person in one go. As the giant worms move closer to Rejection the residents decide to stay & fight them...Executive produced & directed by S.S. Wilson this apparently had the working title of Tremors: Original Showdown & was the third sequel to the excellent 90's monster film Tremors (1990) which is generally considered a bit of a classic & while Tremors 4: The Legend Begins is hardly any sort of classic it makes for a passable period monster film that passes 90 odd minutes harmlessly enough. The script here does the by now standard plot device of introducing yet another new creature, this time little baby Graboids, but does a Back to the Future Part III (1990) & transports the main action back to the Wild West of the late nineteenth century & basically has lots of parallels with the previous modern day set Tremors films as the very beginnings of Perfection, the shop that ends up being run by a Chinese family named the Chang's & Burt Gummer's ancestor & how his family came to live in perfection along with various in-jokes & other references that foreshadow events & character's to come. Of course there's the usual Graboid action too which feels just like the other films with little new, I quite liked the period setting & the story was decent while when Billy Drago turns up & he & Hiram play off against each other is also fun & it moves along at a reasonable pace even if the first half can drag a bit at times although overall I thought this was a definite improvement over the previous sequel Tremors 3: Back to Perfection (2001).The idea of the mine setting could have been rather cool as the Graboids could have attacked from all sides, beneath, the sides & above but this potential isn't realised out of the opening sequence unfortunately. The previous two Tremors sequels introduced different creatures but neither the Shriekers or the ridiculous awful Ass Blasters are seen here. The special effects & CGI work is alright but nothing special & there's a bit more gore than expected with a decapitated head & a headless torso seen. The period production design is nice enough but it does feel like stock costumes & props with little to distinguish this although there's a ridiculously huge gun at the end the recoil of which would surely have broken your arm if you ever tried to fire it.The IMDb reckons this had a budget of about $5,000,000 & if that's true than that's a decent budget, it looks nice enough & is well made but nothing really stands out. The acting is fine, Michael Gross returns again as he becomes the only actor to appear in all four Tremors film while the always watchable Billy Drago is great although he is given too little screen time.Tremors 4: The Legend Begins is a pretty good third sequel to a somewhat tired franchise, there's nothing especially wrong with this but it's adequate & average at best. The IMDb lists Tremors V: The Thunder from Down Under (2010) as in production.
Tremors 4 (2004) ** 1/2 (out of 4) Prequel to the original film has the underground monsters striking a mining town. Michael Gross once again returns, this time playing a relative to the man he played in the first three films. What works really well here is the Western setting, which makes for a fun adventure as the horror and western genres are mixed. Adding a gunslinger to the action was a nice touch and there's some nice comedic moments but nothing to match the original.Available through Universal in a 4-pack with the three other films.
