"They now use their anus to propel themselves in the air…"

People living in a small corner of Nevada infested with prehistoric creatures in mutation are visited by a curious phenomenon. When the inhabitants believe that the voracious species is about to go extinct, it awakens and starts hunting once again. Burt, a survivor of the first wave of attacks has had the time to prepare himself for the assault and replies, armed to the teeth.

The gluttonous race has evolved and this time, it is even more vicious and frightening than before.

Burt Gummer returns to be the veteran in the hunt for graboids. We suppose that his wife has not survived, regardless of what has eaten her: a fact that we accept quite nicely. This time, the tension is not as high. The villagers are not too worried about getting eaten after eleven years of ups and downs.

Nevertheless, after a half dozen murders and multiple warnings by the association for the protection against graboids, things become more serious and a war explodes. Tremors 2 showcased graboids who had evolved, in less than five years, from creatures who reacted to vibration to creatures who react to heat. Once again, they also seem to react to heat but have developed an even more unrealistic power. In 2001, they have learned to use their anus to gracefully shoot themselves in the air.

The film itself isn’t bad but the element that created the suspense in the original, where heroes avoided touching the ground, is no longer present. Here, these creatures have become so strong and flawless that the movie becomes no more than a low budget Jurassic Park.
