Tremors 4

Michael Gross is back, not as Burt Gummer, but instead his ancestor Hiram Gummer, who owns a silver mine in rejection Nevada, but leaves his home in Philadelphia when the mine is closed due to unexplained deaths, which are rumored to be caused by monsters... Set 100 years before the events of Part I,film cleverly builds the back story of this town(later renamed Perfection) and the first reported encounter with the creatures later named "graboids". Set in the west, and featuring many of the familiar elements of the genre, film isn't bad at all, but still falls flat, carried mostly by the appeal of Michael Gross, who has interesting character development regarding his love of guns... Last in the series, so far!

Even when they go prequel ... they have to have a Grummer in there! Played by the same actor of course as the one who played the gun nut Grummer in the other Tremor movies. Here he can show off another side of him - the opposite of a gun nut. He's a business man - but he also has to face the Tremors. I have a soft spot for Westerns in general and this taking it back there is really something nice and funny. And so maybe this is the best of the sequels - even if it actually is a prequel. Nice Billy Drago appearance too - if you don't know him before this, I guarantee you will google him afterwards. Talk about eccentric (something the Grummer character was or generally is known for in the Tremors series) ...

This likable forth entry in the series doesn't pack quite the punch of its predecessors but is still entertaining. Taking the basic premise back to the wild west was a clever touch, Michael Gross is quite good playing a character diametrically opposed to the one he played in the other movies and Bill Drago is good (as always) playing a super-cool gunfighter. Still, the first hour feels a bit sluggish at times, closer in spirit to the amusing but not especially exciting Tremors television series than the movies. Around the middle is a genuinely thrilling sequence and the ending is also reasonably exciting. Not as white-knuckle intense as anything from the other movies but it did cause me to cry out with the occasional "whoah!" I would call this worth watching if you're into the series or just want to see a pretty well done monster movie. But after four movies the series may be getting tired. My advice: time to turn it into a videogame.

Tremors 4: The Legend Begins star Michael Gross! He returns in this prequel and he is playing a different character but he plays the great-grandfather of Burt Gummer in the other films! He is very good in this picture just like he was in the other films! Veteran bad guy actor Billy Drago really surprised Me with his role as Black Hand Kelly! In My opinion he did a great acting performance in this movie! He looked really neat the way he was dressed. His character was one of a kind in My opinion! The rest of the cast was good. The special effects look great! The musical score by Jay Ferguson was good and it has decent direction by S.S. Wilson! Tremors 4: The Legend Begins in My opinion is a good and welcomed addition to the Tremors series! If you like the other three Tremors movies, Michael Gross, and want to see Billy Drago in an excellent role then I strongly recommend you watch Tremors 4: The Legend Begins!

Tremors 4: The Legend Begins is a prequel to the other Tremors films and the TV series. I find the experience of watching this film to be a pleasant one. It has humour and mild threat, with some tense scenes. I certainly think this is a better entry to the franchise that Tremors 3: Back to Perfection, and far superior than the latest, Tremors 5: Bloodlines. The Graboids are back to basics with almost no CGI, and they are convincing creations. It features real characters who are portrayed well by the cast, and sheds an interesting light on the origins of Burt Gummer through the exploits of Hiram Gummer, both played by Tremors veteran Michael Gross. This is a good watch; the story is well told, the monsters are fun to watch, the characters are likable, there's some effective moments of tension and traditional Tremors humour. Good film.
