The cast here is good. The film is a bit silly, but they all go 100% into it with all they can to make this a worthwhile sequel. Go to Full Review

The same type of humor is used for this direct-to-video sequel, which is bland enough to distract from the otherwise thrilling nature of the underground leviathans. Go to Full Review

Harry P Mar 26, 2019 I liked it better than the first one! More interesting and relevant story and clever turn for the development of the creatures and slightly better sfx than the first too. See more
Draco G May 23, 2018 One of my favourite movies of all time. The humour is exactly to my style, very silly, and gory. I can't stop watching it once I start. There's always a good bit coming up soon. I must have watched it a dozen times. See more
Abraham R Jan 27, 2018 A direct-to-video sequel being a direct-to-video sequel, Tremors 2 naturally fails to live up to the first film. It doesn't help matters that Kevin Bacon isn't here. However, it's also a lot more entertaining than any live-action non-Disney direct-to-video sequel has a right to be. I did find the editing to be a little off. For context, there's a new type of graboids that look like Demodogs from Stranger Things. And yes, I know this came out before Stranger Things but that's not the point. And they sometimes react when these graboid dogs before the audience even sees them. These don't come out of the ground. The heroes are just minding their own business when a graboid suddenly teleports to the area. I can see where Tommy Wiseau got his inspiration. Yet Tremors 2 is still oddly enjoyable. When they're not being bland CGI, as puppets and animatronics they actually look cool. Maybe it's because they're from the same special effects team as the ones responsible for the Alien franchise. Or were those people jsut for Alien 3? I dunno. The humour is still good, the action is still fun as we see all them graboid guts spilling everywhere. Hollywood logic: It's only gory if the blood is red. If it was all red then we'd give this movie an R rating. Never really expected much from this movie. If it's a direct-to-video movie, why would you? Yet Tremors 2 is a surprisingly entertaining sequel that captures the spirit of what made the first film great without resorting to just being a rehash of the first film. See more
Theodore W Jul 22, 2017 Beyond the shadow of a doubt lies a monster who is actually born from another creature that doesn't walk on the sea. By that, I mean something between a dinosaur and a rattlesnake. Earl thinks it doesn't come from a foreign planet or the video arcade machine that he doesn't have a lawyer for. General effects of this horror movie can be regarded as dark or even flimsy, almost to the touch of perfection when it comes to nostalgia and awkward nightmares. I give this movie five stars because I only give less when it's one star for my personal destiny. A movie like this goes with me wherever I am: at McDonald's, surfing Ebay, living near Sea World, etc. And I must be negative to admit that the reader will have to guess what some of my thoughts are since this horror presentation is something akin to an old memory's transcendence. I've lived within childhood at adulthood so that gross thoughts of tasty snacks and explosive numbers which these new graboids deal with in the face of hunters are brittle hints of my thought process, causing me to get nimble on brainstorming and confess mysterious ideas. Getting along the lines of poetry is easy enough; however, to acquire knowledge over bad critters such as these bleeding aliens can be difficult to self-aspire or obstacles for Perfection Town's disease of monsterly invasion. Honesty at the front and policy at the side, "Tremors 2" exhibits marvelous complaints on the parts of these graboid hunters who, with careers on dangerous tremors who go after heat and strange vision, may counter each other with intelligence enough so a goal on survival isn't a myth to die with. As to personal thoughts, enjoyment on movie watching has turned against my time since mental disorders at times keep me from studying visuals without crying. Golf is constantly on my watch as well as tennis and chess, yet "Tremors 2" presents the horror of casual agony on the part of vivified actors. After Earl on my DVD makes a reference to Big Bird from "Sesame Street" to make the ostrich more pleasing to his unlike, it's wondered as to the quantity of childhood that's left in either him or Bert, although one move against a new graboid can result in further collateral damage and fantasy explosion. I'm able to exaggerate to withhold a worthy opinion on horror even if I'm laughing awful. Listen, a horror movie as this of dramatic nature and vague futures possibly resembles a rollercoaster experience at Six Flags when you take the Superman. When the main explosion of explosions hits the cameras at the movie's finishing line, it becomes apparent that, on a scale of time in repetition, being too early can be the same as being too late. "Tremors 2" is a casual exhibition with great velocity that comments on love and hate as to make both elements mix into a romance of blood and the Jurassics. See more
Theodore S May 25, 2017 Besides some poor early CGI, this is actually a decently fun follow up, especially for a straight-to-video one from Universal. The monsters aren't as effective or scary, but they get some mileage. The Burt character is entertaining as hell. They also have decent reasons for certain characters not returning. See more
Luke S Feb 28, 2017 A video-only, Bacon-less sequel of the classic 1990 film, six years later? I walked in with low expectations and I'm happy to say I was proven wrong. "Tremors II: Aftershocks" is definitely not as classic an offering as the original but wisely avoided being just a rehash of it and succeeded in engaging and surprising the viewer. That was the bet that would rule in favour or against this film, and returning writers Wilson and Maddock and actors Ward and Gross (gotta love Burt) have clearly won. See more
