Tremors: Island Fury, Tremors 7, Terror Bajo La Tierra 7- Isla Shrieker
It's not as strong as other installments in the franchise, but for a 7th direct-to-video outing, Tremors: Shrieker Island is pretty much ideally decent for what it is, and does what one would already expect for fans of these.
The downsides to this one would definitely be the poor CG on the titular creatures of the series themselves (still sucks that the filmmakers haven't gone back to the practical effects route of the first two), and the unfortunate addition of a human antagonist wasn't really all that needed.
On the flip side, Michael Gross returns for the presumably final time, and yet again carries the feature with the favorable inclusion of Jon Heder. Replacing Jamie Kennedy with Heder as Gross'…
the tremors series has always been about improvising against the odds, thinking quick when the chips are down, like if jamie kennedy is ribbon-cutting a new walgreens you can replace him with napoleon dynamite doing a jamie kennedy impression
While nothing new from Bloodlines (2015) and Cold Day in Hell (2018), this third consecutive outing from Universal 1440's go-to guy Don Michael Paul amalgamates the best qualities of these previous two. A spry Michael Gross returns as Burt to visit another biome, this time Jurassic Park-like tropics, to bounce one-liners off a new colorful supporting cast and kick graboid ass. Except sans guns, as the only ones are in the hands of a party led by a smarmy entrepreneur (Richard Brake) who bred a batch of modified shriekers for a hunt.
Paul's Tremors trilogy could be viewed as the current state of the art for features bound for video/streaming. Every production angle of Shrieker Island from the exotic locale,…

When a group of big game hunters illegally bring graboids to a private island an unlikely group of heroes must save the community from full grown monsters and shrieker babies. My problem with this is my problem with every Tremors sequel that I have seen so far which is that I find them very boring, in part because they all need about 15 minutes of poor dialogue and character development cut and a slightly more exciting set of action scenes. I don't find Michael Gross' character to be a strong enough lead for the film and Jon Heder doesn't do much to help. It might be the most watchable of the sequels but overall very little grabbed me.
Kudos to this franchise for making seven movies but for my taste there are probably six too many Tremors films.
This is actually one of the better Tremors sequels. At this point, anybody who is still with the franchise loves the character of Burt Gummer, and seeing his continued adventures is always a welcomed joy. I like Jon Heder in this and he was a good sidekick to replace the less than stellar Jamie Kennedy from the last two flicks. Mind you, they are not the same character or anything, but they honestly could've been and Jon Heder was simply better at it. I loved seeing the state of Burt at the beginning of things and the film has fun with its premise. I respect the choices made here and it worked. A fun Tremors film that makes me want to see more. I'll never stop watching these flicks if they keep making them.
"Destiny is a bitch." - Burt Gummer
Tremors: Shrieker Island is the seventh (and final?) movie in the Tremors saga, and it's a definite step up from the last two in terms of quality, story and location.
Burt Gummer (Michael Gross) is back for the seventh time (eighth, if you count the TV series) to help rid the world of now genetically modified graboids and shriekers on an island in the south Pacific.
This series is just 100% fun. The story seems fresher than more recent entries, and the lack of Jamie Kennedy doesn't seem to offend anyone this time out. It's stupid and gross (Michael Gross, actually), with obvious nods to Jurassic Park and Predator, you get to see Napoleon Dynamite (Jon Heder) actually handle dynamite, it's a freakin' good time!
Seventh installment of the long running Tremors series, this time sees Graboid antics taking place on a tropical island where a maniacal billionaire has bred a set of genetically modified worms for the ultimate hunt. Anyone who knows this series will know exactly what to expect, and anyone who likes this stuff shouldn't be disappointed. Michael Gross is back as series star Burt Gummer and brings with him the usual array of smart ass quips and amusing methods of dispatching the central monsters. There's a varied assortment of supporting characters; Richard Brake's businesses man hunter being the major highlight amongst them. The production values are actually quite decent. The sunbaked island setting is mouthwatering and even the CGI is fairly…
I’m Drowning My Sorrow Over Mashiro Leaving Zenkimi by watching a ton of Horror Movies. (aka October Horror Marathon 2020). Movie #49
Well after the last one, I wasn't expecting much from this, but I was still pretty excited for it. I'm always looking forward to the next installment of Burt Gummer battles Graboids in whichever exotic location they choose to plunk him down in. Burt and the Graboids have been in my life for a long time, it's like getting to see an old friend.
And the movie is decent too. It kind of ran out of steam for me towards the end, but I really enjoyed the build up, especially anytime Burt and Richard Brake's character are on…
The best Tremors sequel since 3. I mean, it’s Burt Gummer and Napoleon Dynamite vs an army of genetically engineered Graboids and Shriekers, how could it not be a ground shakingly fun creature feature?
During these uncertain times at least we can feel much safer knowing that Napoleon Dynamite is ridding the world of Graboids, Shriekers and of course his favorite Ass Blasters.
Riesenwürmer auf einer exotischen, thailändischen Insel, die einen Haufen selbstgefälliger, schwerreicher Trophäen-Jäger aufs Korn nehmen? Oh ja! Das hört sich doch vielversprechend und nach richtig Spaß an!
Wenn dann auch der "wurmgeplagte" Burt Gummer (Michael Gross) sein Robinson-Crusoe-Dasein unterbricht, um zur Hilfe zu eilen, dann sind die Zutaten für den mittlerweile 7. (?) Tremors Film auch schon komplett!
Graboiden & Shrieker gehören seit gut 30 Jahren zu den bekanntesten Film-Monstern. Sie bekommen sogar regelmäßig Upgrades spendiert und durchlaufen immer wieder evolutionäre Stufen, um die Zuseher schön bei Laune zu halten. So können sie nun sogar ihre Schallwellen als Waffen einsetzen. Zumindest versucht man so etwas Kreativität einfließen zu lassen, auch wenn das Drehbuch sonst kaum etwas Neues hergibt.
Aus meiner Sicht…
How the fuck can they not have introduced a single new element to this franchise since the second movie? This is the SEVENTH ONE!!!!
The storyline was okay, felt like the characters were male dominated & the female characters were over sexualized. I love originality but this film lacked that..
Who paid for this and why is it so good? I couldn't believe it when I randomly stumbled on a Tremors I hadn't heard of on Netflix, and saw it was made in 2020.
It's the right type of cheese. Great cast and an absolutely stunning location. Worth the watch if you're a fan of the series. If you don't know the series, it's campy ridiculous monster fun. So go into this with that in mind.
They should've just called it Jurassic Park: Tremors, or vice versa. You're going to genetically modify the shrikers and place them on an isolated island hoping they won't escape and/or wreak havoc?
At least we got the Napoleon Dynamite/Tremors crossover we always wanted.
I also want to believe that Family Ties and Tremors exist in the same median universe. Good seeing the shriekers back and ngl, would love to live on a tropical island like that (sans shriekers of course).

Another enjoyable entry in this decades-long running Creature Feature franchise
The issues that plagued the previous 2 installments are ever present in this one; it is a film full of great ideas but doesn't develop them to any meaningful effects, and there is a severe lack of proper character development.
However, this one does have the edge slightly. The cinematography is pretty damn solid and the island environment is used well. The creature effects are used much more sparingly but to a much greater effect as they look really good. There is at least some attempt to overcome the character problems, with some decent performances and writing in places, and there are a couple of good moments.
But, that is the problem. They're moments, not arcs. There is a particularly…
It was the worst of the newer films but it still stunk. With any luck that’s the series dead and buried. I never thought I’d say this but give me Sharknado any day.

Look, as bad as this is, it was a nice break from all the movies my niece has had me watching this weekend.
I haven't watched any movies in this series since the first one, so I have no idea if any of that back story was necessary. Um...Michael Gross is still in these, as is Napoleon Dynamite and one of the gals from Orange is the New Black. Also, this was 100 minutes long, which was definitely unnecessary. But...a guy gets dragged into the crap of an outhouse by a graboid, so that's something.
You know what you're getting with Tremors 7. If you watched the other 6 then you'll watch this. It's ANOTHER serving of the same. This time on an island with Napoleon Dynamite.
