Like many reviewers, I've watched all the previous Tremors flicks and, to varying degrees, found the needle falling on the positive side of the entertainment meter. Not so for Shrieker Island. The movie itself seems to be a mash-up of previous Tremors, Jurassic Park, Predator, etc., complete with a hulk carrying a chain gun who shreds the forest. The premise of the creature in its various forms is old and worn out. The idea of thrill seekers deliberately putting themselves on an island where meeting a grizzly death is overwhelming pushes the bounds of idiocy. The story is predictable and the acting falls flat. As for the positive reviews, I surmise is fans of the franchise will settle for anything with the name "Tremors" attached; the trend is not reflected in the overall rating.
