Review of Tremors 4: The Legend Begins (2004) by Pete P — 11 Mar 2009

Before it became Perfection, the mining town of Rejection is attacked by Graboids, and it is up to another member of the Gummer family to save the day.

With the third movie acting as an introduction to the great (but short lived) Tremors TV series, there was now a limit to what the fourth movie in this great franchise could possibly do. So, like many other movies in the past, why bother with another sequel wen we can do a prequel!!! The idea is pretty similar to the first movie, but setting it in the 'Old West' works very well. Gone are the big trucks and big weapons, and the characters are left to deal with things in even more unbelievable ways. The introduction of Burt Gummer's ancestor (who happens to have no idea how to shoot a gun) is great, and the rest of the cast play their roles to the maximum. Did I forget to mention that genre favourite Billy Drago also has a supporting role!!! A great final entry to a great movie series.
