    Oh, how about a Saturday #MidnightMovie ? It's a guilty pleasure of mine... Tremors 2 (1996) The worms are back! And now Fred Ward and Michael Gross are back. And the third guy, who's... comedy relief. It may be cheap TV movie nonsense, but I love it lol. Does any one else defend this movie?

    Tremors 2 is peak cinema IMHO. I only wish they had spent a little more on the CGI, or replaced it all with practical effects.

    *self-promotion alert* Universal brought original writers Maddock and Wilson back for Tremors 2, 3, 4 and Tremors: The TV Series. They were busy at work on a fifth movie (where Burt Gummer would’ve gone to Australia) when they were dumped from the series. Read about it here bit.ly/GummerDownUn...

    I think Tremors 1 *just* edges 2 out as the better film, but Tremors 2 is very, very good. I wouldn't change a thing about it, it's an example of a truly well-done sequel.

    Denden’s Movie Den. No. 131. Tremors 3: Back to Perfection. For my thoughts in Tremors 2: bsky.app/profile/jcde... This third movie in the franchise succeeds mostly in moving the story forward, with Burt finally acting as main protagonist as we return to the valley of Perfection (1/6)

    Was expecting something akin to "Tremors 2" from Lair of the White Worm, so was definitely surprised by...Well much of the film. Quite solid though there's some orientalism unfortunately, as well as a...skippable scene with a teen character.

    The thing about watching Tremors is it will make you want to watch Tremors 2. And that's okay! It's not as good as the first one but it's a fun enough movie. It might even make you want to watch more Tremors movies! It is critically important that you do not make that mistake.

    Spent 1990 through 1996 just loving the first Tremors movie. Then Tremors 2 Aftershock came along in '96, introducing the Shriekers, and scaring the bejeezus out of me. Was up all night that night trembling. The thunderstorm definitely did not help in calming me down rithrt. #CurrentlyWatching

    Nonononono Tremors 2 is the best Tremors! It admits that it is a movie about giant worms and has fun with it, and Burt takes over the franchise. If you don't like it, Tremors is still there and feels different enough you'll be okay.

    I don't know why the Shriekers in Tremors 2 were able deal such critical damage to my 9 year old psyche when I watched the original movie obsessively when I was much younger. The ugly little toads had me up all night in a state of trembling fear the first time I saw the movie.

    The story of budget being cut from $17M to $4M (that's not small in that era; that's a lot of $, still), which sees Reba unequivocally Nope out & Kevin Bacon 'intrigued,' but not enough to not do Apollo 13, is equal parts hilarious & sad 😅 Underwood an EP. How involved, tho? 🤔 #FilmSky 📽️ #Tremors2

    Tremors 2 is one of my favorite sequels of all time simply because the protagonists, who survived the first movie, are hyper-competent at dealing with the monsters from the first film rather than finding themselves in the same situation all over again.

    I think the one exception to "establishing a franchise with the D2V market" was Tremors 2-- but subsequent sequels were made for TV or streaming. (3 & 4 were setup for the series.) Of course, it's not just franchises-- studios will see a movie flop, and learn the wrong lessons as to why. 3/3

    I was still doing a B-movie review blog when the first one came out, and my assessment was that if it hadn’t been carrying the Tremors name - if it had been “Chompwyrms” or something - I would have enjoyed it more. Instead of making me say “I should rewatch Tremors 2.”

    60/100 A fun follow-up to "Tremors", this one has Earl reluctantly hired to kill a new bunch of graboid worms in Mexico that soon develop into something else. Obviously lacking the budget of the original starring only a few characters (including a new partner that was a terrible substitute for Kevin Bacon) and the story is really simple and straight forward. But the witty and campy attitude of the whole affair as well as a good twist on the creatures, active pacing and a good dose of creature…
