You Say You Want an Evolution... "Tremors 2: Aftershocks"

 
 
 
 
 
 
Just when you thought it was safe to go back to the desert...

The Story:

A few years have passed since the original Graboids invasion.  Earl (Fred Ward) is trying to run an ostrich ranch when the Mexican government comes calling.  It seems they've got some Graboids on their hands, and they need them removed.  Earl agrees, at $50K a pop, and gets the assistance from an eager fan named Grady (Christopher Gartin) who head south.  Complications arise as the Graboids seem to outsmart the boys, so they call in Burt Gummer (Michael Gross) to bring in some more firepower.  Everything is going fine...

Until evolution kicks in!

I'm going to assume this was direct to video back in the day.

Gone is Kevin Bacon, too dignified to sully his reputation with this film. 

Thankfully, Fred Ward and Michael Gross don't feel it was beneath them, and they return.

It's fun and harmless, and rather amusing throughout.

The evolution of the worms into land roaming critters is a nice turn to change the pace of the film.

Again, this is what you want from a Grade B movie, it has fun never taking itself too seriously, and never mocking the movie that it's trying to create.

If you liked the first one, give this one a whirl, it's not too bad!

Final Grade: B-

Would I Own It: Again, probably not... although if they put all the films on one disc.... never say never!
