After spending all the reward money from his first encounter with the giant man-eating worms called Graboids, Earl Bassett (Fred Ward) agrees to hunt more of the deadly creatures at a Mexican oil refinery for $50,000 each. Knowing that he cannot face the monsters alone, Earl recruits Burt Gummer (Michael Gross), another veteran of the incident in Nevada, to supply the firepower. There is only one problem: The Graboids have now evolved to attack above ground.

This is a charming, knowingly silly comedy creature feature

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.

3/10

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.

The characters are so much thinner and dumber than the first film. The basic plot is more obvious now. The effects are fine and it feels like some effort was put into the film overall. The monster’s evolution is a welcome addition. It’s pretty much below average entertainment and really mindless but okay for what it is.

Earl and Burt return to go Graboid hunting at an oil refinery in Mexico. This sequel hits a metamorphosis to introduce Shriekers with a plot like Gremlins but overall it’s pretty dry.

This movie is great. Usually the sequels are not as good as the originals ever, but in this case the sequel is just as good. I've seen it 500x and it still holds water. I love it. I consider this one a horror movie with some comedy/action/ thriller thrown in where it needs it. Great watch.

Captura muito bem a essência da primeira obra e serve como uma ótima continuação. Traz de volta tudo de melhor do primeiro filme: o equilíbrio entre terror e comédia, as criaturas sci-fi e um pouco de romance. Eu acho o design dos novos monstros impecável. No entanto, essa obra peca em alguns pontos que acabam a deixando levemente para trás em relação à original. O perigo real e os novos monstros, que são o principal do filme, aparecem muito tarde na trama, e acontecem poucas mortes ao decorrer dela. Além disso, as criaturas de CGI acabam quebrando um pouco a imersão, mas entendo totalmente a decisão e o uso moderado, feito apenas em cenas que eram realmente inviáveis com efeitos práticos. Se você gostou do primeiro, definitivamente assista.

Tremors 2 felt slightly better than the first. I enjoy Fred Ward’s character and how he meshes with the other characters. This one feels more comedic than the last but also more fun. This leans into the more ridiculous fun stuff that the first movie put forth. This one is fun.
