This franchise is beginning to look a bit tired now and come the end of this 7th instalment, you get the impression that everyone is ready to move on.
A franchise that was born in 1990, there have been 6 films in the Tremors series so far. This is our definitive ranking of the entire series.
Tremors: A Cold Day in Hell is the sixth and (currently) final movie in the Tremors franchise. One that begun way back in 1990. Dropping the number from the title, like many a series that has overstayed its welcome, Tremors 6 doesn’t try too hard but has enough positives to make it an enjoyable enough watch.
Coming 11 years after the 4th film in the franchise, Tremors 5: Bloodlines keeps things simple and uninspired even with a returning Michael Gross.
A Graboid origin story could have been really good, one that takes the series back to its roots way before Ass-Blasters became a thing! Sadly Tremors 4: The Legend Begins doesn’t do this, instead choosing to focus on one character named Hiram Gummer who happens to be the great-grandfather of Burt Gummer.
After two good films in the franchise, they just couldn’t leave it alone. Tremors 3: Back to Perfection is a disappointing and unnecessary entry. However, it’s not without some of the classic charm thanks to a returning cast. I mean, it’s called Back to Perfection after all.
After the runaway success of the 1990 monster movie, Tremors a sequel was inevitable but it wouldn’t be until 1996 that we got one. A direct to video release (for reasons that make little sense once you’ve seen it), Tremors 2: Aftershocks is an entertaining movie that holds up well in the story department and the creature effects.
