In case you haven’t seen the intro from my entry dated
1/26/19 (it’s in my archives whenever you want to read it), I’m no longer going
to review every single movie I see. I’m
going to review one, with the occasional bonus, and just give ratings for the
rest from now on (unless I decide to pick it up again in the future). You can always ask me why I gave the ratings
for the films without reviews though (via comments or the e-mail addresses
under the ‘About Me’ section).

Tremors: Shrieker Island OK/G
Tremors 7. Here is what I wrote about the first film in
my review of the previous entry, A Cold
Day in Hell---[I’m a huge fan of Tremors
and it holds a special place in my heart for being one of the first horror
movies I recall watching.]---and you can read my brief opinions of the rest of
the series as well as the entire review in the archives---www.abcreviewarchive.blogspot.com. This time, the action takes place on a jungle
island in Thailand and it is explained how the creatures ended up there. Only the Graboids (the original worm-like
creatures that burrow underground) and Shriekers (the two-legged creatures
spawned from the Graboids first appearing in Aftershocks, and hence part of the title) appear here and they appear
to be a combination of both practical and CGI effects, more so the CGI, but
look close enough to the real thing (meaning the original practical creatures)
to avoid being a complete letdown. Did
we really need another Tremors movie
though? Probably not, but if movies keep
being made and are part of a franchise, you can’t not keep watching them (at
least I can’t). These were my last words
in my review for the preceding entry---[…someone make me like this franchise again!]---and while I can absolutely
say I didn’t dislike this entry, I can at least say it was better than the last
two, which were also directed by the same guy behind this one (Don Michael
Paul). It also ends rather poignantly, although
I have a feeling that poignancy might be rendered null if an 8th
entry is made. Who knows? They already made seven films and a TV series! 10/23/2020
