This is by far the best in the newer sequels episodes of Tremors.
Its obvious from the start that this is very different movie in tone and in production values than anything which appeared after the initial trilogy.
This is a much more serious and darker film, gone is the comedic tone and in its place we get much better action sequences and a real air of menace.
There definite and deliberate nods to the movie Predator, particularly in the action scenes. One in particular midway through the movie is simply the best action scene in any Tremors movie.
The production values for this are probably the best in the franchise. We have stunning visuals as this is set in Thailand which gives the movie a kind of Jurassic Park prehistoric vibe but the cinematography is worth a mention. Probably a first for a Tremors movie.
The cast are great and unexpectedly (to me any) Jon Heder shows up as does an English actress mainly known for TV shows who plays Berts ex love interest,
Fans of the franchise will be more than happy with this edition although there is an obvious departure from the previous formula.
This perhaps signals an end to either the saga or possibly a shift away to a new Tremors series of movies.
I wouldn't complain if they did based on this episode.
I gave this a 6 however as its still a Tremors movie and partly for the ending...
