Tremors 4: The Legend Begins (2004)
OK, yeah, it made sense. Although the vow of silence over the “Dirt Dragons” felt a bit tacked on; the explanation could have been so much worse.
No “Graboids: In Space” yet; but “Graboids: In the Wild West” ended up being way more friggen’ awesome than I would have expected.
It feels like it retraces many of the steps the original took; but then again, that helps it to function stand-alone. If someone were not otherwise interested in the series, and watching IV as their first film got them hooked enough to watch the rest, that would be just fine.
I hope my tactic of hoping the next movie will suck so I end up being pleasantly surprised continues to pay off. Still have one more from 2015, and apparently a new one is coming out THIS YEAR.
It seems odd that after being dormant for so long it just starts right back up again.
