Not wanting to tarnish the perfect original, I avoided this for a long time. It's not bad at all though- the effects overall are pretty good bar a few ropey CG shots and the characters amiable enough. The attempt to splice in a dose of Gremlins works too. Has it's flaws, not least the premise that nobody bar Fred Ward has the slightest interest in the underground creatures, but a pleasant surprise given the low expectations I went in with.

I noticed while I'm watching Tremors 2 the creatures are killing three Mexicans and not other people that's so disrespectful. And there's some humor in tremors 2 but doesn't have the spirits of the original tremors.

"Tremors: Aftershocks" clearly doesn't reach the level of its predecessor, but it does offer some surprises and funny moments. For some, it may rely too heavily on the same joke tropes as its predecessor, while for others, that may be exactly what is expected from this sequel. It manages to maintain the original's very specific situational humor and offbeat vibes.

Rarely do you watch a sequel of an original film that feels like a direct rehash of the same plot. While elements of the film remain similar to the original, the twist in the films monsters gives it a new narrative with fresh challenges for the protagonists. Returning cast members in Fred Ward and Michael Gross add some credibility to the film.

For me this sequel is as good as the original, the shrikers are a good evolution of graboids and for the time the effects were very good.

A whole lot more thoughtful than it had the slightest reason to be.

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.

Gone With The Twins

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.
