Description

Kevin Bacon and Fred Ward star as two country handymen who lead a cast of zany characters to safety in this exciting sci-fi creature comedy. Just as Val McKee (Bacon) and Earl Basset (Ward) decide to leave Perfection, Nevada, strange rumblings prevent their departure. With the help of a shapely seismology student (Finn Carter), they discover their desolate town is infested with gigantic man-eating creatures that live below the ground. The race is on to overcome these slimy subterraneans and find a way to higher ground, in this enjoyable thriller co-starring Michael Gross and Reba McEntire.

They're back! The giant underground creatures that terrorized a desert town in Tremors are now plowing their way through Mexican oil fields, gobbling up everything and everyone around-and only one man can stop them! In the style of its predecessor, this comedy sci-fi creature feature reunites Fred Ward as down-on-his-luck Earl Basset and Michael Gross as gung-ho survivalist Burt Gummer, two desert desperados who take on the task of destroying the monsters. Partnered with them is Christopher Gartin, a young guy in need of kicks, cash, and a career change, and Helen Shaver, a sexy and intrepid scientist who's seen it all…until now. Together they devise an ingenious plan for tracking and killing the creatures. Tremors 2 is filled with high-speed action and plenty of laughs-until the predators wise up.

Those morphing, man-eating monsters are shaking things up again in the dusty little town of Perfection, Nevada - and survivalist Burt Gummer (Michael Gross) is the only solution to the latest in evolution! Aided by a couple of young local entrepreneurs (Shawn Christian and Susan Chuang), Burt pits his impressive knowledge of weaponry against the newest and deadliest generation of Graboids. If Burt and his new partners can't find a way to stop them, then the creatures that put Perfection on the map will wipe it right off the face of the earth. Tremors 3 promises earth-shaking, explosive, edge-of-your-seat entertainment.

Get ready to be shaken to your core by the all-new prequel to the original Tremors! When workers in a remote mining town of Rejection, Nevada, fall prey to an unseen creature, the mine's owner, Hiram Gummer (Michael Gross), great-grandfather to Tremors' Burt Gummer, hires a mercenary to destroy the carnivorous creatures before they swallow up his profits. What follows is an all-out assault that takes the battleground from deep in the earth to a suspense-filled showdown on the streets of Rejection! Tremors 4:The Legend Begins will thrill you with incredible action sequences, awesome bonus features and earth-shaking special effects created by the award-winning team behind the original box-office hit, Tremors.

Great value!.......2007-05-07

I've always been a fan of the Tremors series, and I had all the movies on VHS (well, except for #4). The VHS tapes are getting old, so I thought I would upgrade to DVD. This "Attack Pack" was a great value, and I recommend it to any Tremors fans.

Just Remember It's Only a Movie!.......2007-03-15

My nine year old grandson wanted "Tremors". We purchased the set for his 10th birthday coming up in April. I have seen two of the set on cable. I think he has seen them all. The one with Kevin Bacon was the best in my opinion. As I stated in the title just remember it's only a movie.

Great for sci-fi fans.......2007-02-13

This is a really good product, especially for the price. It's a good idea for sci-fi fans. When I got mine, one of the discs was defective, but returning it was no big deal. The second movie is definetly the best, then the first, then the third. The fourth one isn't something I'd pay money for, but it's okay in a box set.

Silly, exciting fun.......2007-01-28

Part One, classic Bacon at his finest! Michael Gross and Reba McEntire join Bacon in turning a potentially stale monster flick into a roller coaster fun classic. Michael Gross, the constant in the series, throws his Keaton image to the wind to create a hilarious character in an ever-evolving arc of a fine mix of thrills, chills, drama, comedy, and wickedly good effects. The series perhaps would have been best left a trilogy, but the fourth installment, and following short-lived television show, proved a relatively simple idea, man against "nature," can take on a life of its own and never disappoint. Perhaps the most impressive? These are ridiculously 50's horror in nature, but timeless in entertainment.

For My Son.......2007-01-12

My son wanted the Tremor movies and I was thrilled to find them all in one package.

When a remote Mexican oilfield comes down with a nasty case of Graboids (for the uninitiated: giant carnivorous worms with tunneling abilities that put Bugs Bunny to shame), it's up to those veteran monster exterminators Burt and Earl (Michael Gross and the wonderful Fred Ward, reprising their roles from the first film) to save the day--and accumulate some much-needed payola in the process. But this time, the slimy critters may have a few new tricks up their...um, sleeves. Although denied a chance to appear in theaters, this unjustly neglected sequel delivers the same winning mixture of cornpone and gore that made the original Tremors a cult classic. A hoot-and-a-half for horror and SF fans, with some genuine scares and a welcome sense of humor. --Andrew Wright

Almost as much fun as the first.......2007-04-22

The graboids have ravaged the drilling site of a petrochemical company in Mexico, so company representatives offer a lucrative bounty to Earl (Fred Ward), who has fallen on hard times. Well-armed survivalist Burt (Michael Gross) is also along for the ride, but the rest of the original cast is absent. Fortunately, however, the creative team of Brent Maddock and S.S. Wilson return as well, because they make this outing almost as good as the first one. Just as they did before, they present a powerful creature with one significant weakness that the characters must exploit in order to survive. An intelligent script with lots of laughs and thrills makes for an enjoyable viewing experience.

Hilarious.......2007-03-24

This movie was even funnier than the first. I love how they brought back characters from the first movie and continued storylines. Definitely recommended, but you need to make sure you see the first movie before this one. :)

I'd stop after this one though, Tremors 3 was pretty bad.

WHEN YOU STRIKE GOLD THE FIRST TIME IT'S HARD TO DO IT AGAIN THEY CAME REAL CLOSE!.......2007-03-16

I love the original and I suppose it would be damn near inpossible to top it with a sequel. The did a great job and came close. Very impressive sequel to the first one! The DVD transfer is very good.

it's a friggin' monster movie!.......2007-01-26

I'm so tired of some people whining about how this movie is a let down when compared to the first one. It's a movie about giant underground worms that morph into something else...HELLO!!!! This film does exactly what it set out to do, help you ecscape for an hour or two to relax and enjoy a great b-movie. The scene with Burt blowing the s@!t out of the creature with the giant rifle is worth every penny!

Tremors 2: Aftershocks.......2006-12-07

Okay, my wife thinks I am crazy but I really like the Tremors movies (I-IV) and the TV series as well. I purchased the DVD for Tremors II to upgrade from the VCR tape that I had watched numerous times. This is probably the best of the sequels to the original movie. Fred Ward does an excellent job recreating his character, but the actor in the role of the sidekick is a little lame (the only real downside to the entire movie). Of course, it would be hard to top Kevin Bacon who starred with Fred Ward in the first movie. If you like Tremors I, then this should be your next purchase.

At last... on DVD!.......2002-06-10

Tremors is one of those films that you just happen to see one night. It's raining, it's winter, there's nothing better to do... by chance you see this movie, and it's superb!

Based on the fairly standard 'horror' storyline of some undiscovered monsters turning up to eat people and the guys who turn out to be heroes to save the day, Tremors has nothing new: however, it does everything right.

The story holds together really well, the acting is excellent (particularly from Bacon, Ward and Gross) and the tongue-in-cheek humour is well-timed. It's a must-see for anyone who likes to take their films with a pinch of salt, and doesn't analyse absolutely every tiny little thing. Tremors takes the viewer for a nice, fun ride with a few surprises, thrills and shocks to keep the heart pounding.

Tremors 2 follows on with Ward and Gross returning to fight the Graboids once again. Despite my immediate fear that, being a sequel, it would be rubbish, I was pleasantly surprised. The humour is still evident, the story holds up well and includes new surprises without being silly... and there's even a bit of love interest.

Now... all we need is Fred Ward's "Remo, Unarmed and Dangerous" and our DVD collections can be complete. *chuckle*

cool movie.......2002-01-10

These movies are great. Tremors is better then Tremors 2 though. i saw these movies when i was about 6 or 7. i loved them. there funny and suspenseful. when you watch them you cant take your eyes of the t.v. all in all these movies are cool. (so is Tremors 3)

Love this movie.......2001-11-04

I love this movie, I'm not a horror movie guy, but I guess I just love that Captin Kurk logic. "you can think your way out of anything"

In a small desert town, people are turning up dead, but know one can make sense of the deaths untill the killers start getting closer. The killers are beasts the size of wales that can move under the ground as fast as sharks can swim. the only safe place is to be off the ground. a few towns people find a way to get together to battle these huge creatures. very comparable to Jaws, and as good a Jaws.

Awesome.......2001-10-01

This is the coolest of the early 90s. Plus it comes with 2.

Intense thriller.......2001-06-08

Tremors is an excellent movie. It keeps you on the edge of your seat non stop. It's one of the few good horror films out there that you will want to watch over and over again. Kevin Bacon does a great job in this. Tremors 2 Aftershocks doesn't quite live up to the original. It is a good movie, but is lacking the level of suspence and thrills of the first one. It does have it's moments though. You won't regret buying this 2 pack.
