60 of 73 · most liked firstOh, how about a Saturday #MidnightMovie ? It's a guilty pleasure of mine... Tremors 2 (1996) The worms are back! And now Fred Ward and Michael Gross are back. And the third guy, who's... comedy relief. It may be cheap TV movie nonsense, but I love it lol. Does any one else defend this movie?
positive · AI labelView post →Tremors 2 is peak cinema IMHO. I only wish they had spent a little more on the CGI, or replaced it all with practical effects.
positive · AI labelView post →Also don't sleep on Tremors 2. A rare straight to vhs sequel that rocks.
positive · AI labelView post →Share a movie that will never get old to you! For me... Tremors 2: Aftershocks 🖤
positive · AI labelView post →*self-promotion alert* Universal brought original writers Maddock and Wilson back for Tremors 2, 3, 4 and Tremors: The TV Series. They were busy at work on a fifth movie (where Burt Gummer would’ve gone to Australia) when they were dumped from the series. Read about it here bit.ly/GummerDownUn...
neutral · AI labelView post →I think Tremors 1 *just* edges 2 out as the better film, but Tremors 2 is very, very good. I wouldn't change a thing about it, it's an example of a truly well-done sequel.
positive · AI labelView post →Saw Tremors 2 when I was 8 'cause my older brother was watching me while folks were out of town. I had never seen a horror movie before. :'D Couldn't walk on the grass or dirt for a month.
neutral · AI labelView post →There's a lot of Tremors love on the TL for some reason this morning, but if we're going to be saying Tremors is a perfect movie then I will be joining in Also Tremors 2 is excellent
positive · AI labelView post →Posting a random movie from my library. DAY 20 : Tremors 2 : Aftershocks When Graboids attack a Mexican oil field, the owners turn to monster hunter extraordinaire Earl Basset to help With Fred Ward, Michael Gross, Helen Shaver 4⭐️ #filmsky #physicalmedia
positive · AI labelView post →Share a horror movie title that begins with the letter “T” 🎥 T is for… ‘Tremors 2: Aftershocks’ 🖤
neutral · AI labelView post →Denden’s Movie Den. No. 131. Tremors 3: Back to Perfection. For my thoughts in Tremors 2: bsky.app/profile/jcde... This third movie in the franchise succeeds mostly in moving the story forward, with Burt finally acting as main protagonist as we return to the valley of Perfection (1/6)
neutral · AI labelView post →Was expecting something akin to "Tremors 2" from Lair of the White Worm, so was definitely surprised by...Well much of the film. Quite solid though there's some orientalism unfortunately, as well as a...skippable scene with a teen character.

positive · AI labelView post →The thing about watching Tremors is it will make you want to watch Tremors 2. And that's okay! It's not as good as the first one but it's a fun enough movie. It might even make you want to watch more Tremors movies! It is critically important that you do not make that mistake.
neutral · AI labelView post →Spent 1990 through 1996 just loving the first Tremors movie. Then Tremors 2 Aftershock came along in '96, introducing the Shriekers, and scaring the bejeezus out of me. Was up all night that night trembling. The thunderstorm definitely did not help in calming me down rithrt. #CurrentlyWatching
neutral · AI labelView post →#DendensMovieDen. No. 127. Tremors 2: Aftershocks. A successful horror movie dictates the beginning of a franchise. While quality usually takes a hit with the first sequel doing nothing much to differentiate tiself from its predecessor, the mystery around the Graboids’ origins (1/6)
neutral · AI labelView post →They made this movie, Tremors 2, for a meager 4 million 30 years ago. And it's one of the most entertaining movie I've ever seen. Very well done. Also, Burt has the biggest gun of them all, because of course he has! youtu.be/eMODPOmB-cA
positive · AI labelView post →Tremors 2: Aftershocks slaps just as much as the first movie. I'll accept no slander.
positive · AI labelView post →My ★★★★ review of Tremors 2: Aftershocks (1996) on @letterboxd: boxd.it/9pOCZN
positive · AI labelView post →*self-promotion alert* Universal brought Maddock and back for Tremors 2, Tremors 3, Tremors 4 and Tremors: The TV Series. They were busy at work on a fifth movie (where Burt Gummer would’ve gone to Australia) when they were dumped from the series. Read about it here bit.ly/GummerDownUn...
neutral · AI labelView post →Nonononono Tremors 2 is the best Tremors! It admits that it is a movie about giant worms and has fun with it, and Burt takes over the franchise. If you don't like it, Tremors is still there and feels different enough you'll be okay.
positive · AI labelView post →I don't know why the Shriekers in Tremors 2 were able deal such critical damage to my 9 year old psyche when I watched the original movie obsessively when I was much younger. The ugly little toads had me up all night in a state of trembling fear the first time I saw the movie.
neutral · AI labelView post →If we're talking "Reasons to see Tremors 2: Aftershocks," here are 2 big ones right up front. Fred Ward and Michael Gross return from the first #film, and Nfn, fellow #Blankies will know what the 'And' means here (Gross's agent pushed for that) #FilmSky 📽️ #Tremors2 🧵
neutral · AI labelView post →Tremors 2 is so good, I love this movie so much!
positive · AI labelView post →I watched Tremors 2 last night (good movie btw) and can't stop thinking about Burt Gummer saying that his wife blamed their marital problems on the collapse of the Soviet Union.
positive · AI labelView post →Tremors, Dune, Tremors 2, Tremors 3, the film where Fassbender plays a sex addict
neutral · AI labelView post →This clip is from a movie. Tremors 2 (apparently).* If you are thinking the guy in it is an idiot, just know this is from a movie made 30 years ago. *I haven't seen it.
neutral · AI labelView post →90. Tremors 2: Aftershocks - this film is lots of fun and I ❤️ how this piece turned out. Balance is good, fun colors, I love that garden flower and I find it always works to include taxidermy in a piece. It’d be perfect if the coke can was a little smaller #tremors #artsky #horrorsky #tremors2
positive · AI labelView post →OMG it's such a comfort movie! That and Tremors 2. I'm currently doing a complete play through of all the RE in chronological order...so I should get to biohazard in a few months 😂
positive · AI labelView post →10. Tremors 2: Aftershocks Movie night pick again! Really fun, and really stupid! Much tighter paced than the original at least, really blazed by.
positive · AI labelView post →The story of budget being cut from $17M to $4M (that's not small in that era; that's a lot of $, still), which sees Reba unequivocally Nope out & Kevin Bacon 'intrigued,' but not enough to not do Apollo 13, is equal parts hilarious & sad 😅 Underwood an EP. How involved, tho? 🤔 #FilmSky 📽️ #Tremors2
neutral · AI labelView post →Ok Tremors was a good movie. Now watching Tremors 2.
positive · AI labelView post →Tremors 2 is one of my favorite sequels of all time simply because the protagonists, who survived the first movie, are hyper-competent at dealing with the monsters from the first film rather than finding themselves in the same situation all over again.
positive · AI labelView post →Tremors 2! This was fun. Bigger, more, and with expansion of lore. A cool action B-movie with strong production (can't believe it was direct-to-video) and some fun cast and characters. Nothing groundbreaking (ha ha), but a damn good time. #FilmSky #MovieSky
positive · AI labelView post →Fucking love the Tremors series. Tremors 2 might just be my favorite direct-to-VHS movie period.
positive · AI labelView post →Tremors 2: Aftershocks The second best underground worm monster movie. And probably where you stop watching these, though I have some fondness for the third and the following series. [RECOMMENDED]
positive · AI labelView post →I think the one exception to "establishing a franchise with the D2V market" was Tremors 2-- but subsequent sequels were made for TV or streaming. (3 & 4 were setup for the series.) Of course, it's not just franchises-- studios will see a movie flop, and learn the wrong lessons as to why. 3/3
neutral · AI labelView post →Today is Tremors 2's 30th anniversary. And while it's every bit as good a movie as the 1990 prequel, it somehow feels far more dated than the first film.
neutral · AI labelView post →What movie is the best worst movie and why is it Tremors 2
positive · AI labelView post →Just watched Tremors 2 and Tremors 3 with my folks. The original is a phenomenal movie but my favorite to rewatch is actually the second one.
positive · AI labelView post →I was still doing a B-movie review blog when the first one came out, and my assessment was that if it hadn’t been carrying the Tremors name - if it had been “Chompwyrms” or something - I would have enjoyed it more. Instead of making me say “I should rewatch Tremors 2.”
negative · AI labelView post →My biggest disappointment with Tremors 2 was it was direct to VHS, and the movie deserved better.
neutral · AI labelView post →I'm really stunned at how much practical effects are in this movie, Universal really lowballed the crew for Tremors 2 so huge praise goes to them for being able to mostly work with the budget.
positive · AI labelView post →Xactly! You asking this reminds me of the movie "Tremors 2", where I heard this term the first time (hermaphrodites).
neutral · AI labelView post →Tremors 2 is a bad Graboid movie, but it's a great Shrieker movie
neutral · AI labelView post →Tremors 2 4K came in a bit early thanks to Arrow Video 🎉 Movie night. Graboid night.
neutral · AI labelView post →were we talking bout? Oh yeah Tremors 2, I probably rented it but I don’t remember anything from this movie. So this will be the first time I’ve watch it in some time.
neutral · AI labelView post →Halloween-a-thon Movie #73: Title: Tremors 2: Aftershocks Year: 1996 Format: DVD Because I’m comfortable and too lazy to change the disc, I’m going to watch the 2nd one. I know this was a straight to video release. Now I’m looking at the movie poster it also on the Laser Disc. So let me soak in
neutral · AI labelView post →Tremors 2 Aftershocks is big dumb B movie creature feature fun with bad cgi, plenty of action & a likeable cast. It might not be as good as its predecessor but it does still have its charms mainly due to Fred Ward's charisma. A silly horror comedy that's easy to watch 6/10
positive · AI labelView post →I'm actually a big fan of the shriekers from Tremors 2 #film #sickpalette #getsum
positive · AI labelView post →I googled Tremors the other day to figure out when the first one was released and I was shocked to know they kept going after 4. That said Tremors 2 is a solid 7/10 monster movie
positive · AI labelView post →I like Tremors 2. It's a good movie. If you disagree, you're wrong
positive · AI labelView post →It's a movie, thank you very much. Tremors 2, which is hard to completely ignore.
neutral · AI labelView post →I watched Tremors 2: Aftershocks today. I've only seen the first movie before this. It took a bit to get going, but it was a lot of fun. I should watch the others. #filmsky
positive · AI labelView post →Tremors. The best film ever made. Tremors 2 and beyond are rubbish.
negative · AI labelView post →Watching my comfort movie(s) today. Tremors, Tremors 2 and Tremors 3
positive · AI labelView post →1996 Film Poll - Elimination Round. Star Trek - First Contact rolled to first place, while Tremors 2 - Aftershocks held on to finish in second. Both advance to the Quarter-Final Round.
neutral · AI labelView post →I have a soft spot for Tremors 2...but knowing that was the original plan is a bummer. The fact we ever only got one film of Val and Earl together is a sin. The fact there's a fucking pilot for a second Tremors show WITH Bacon sitting in some vault somewhere is also a sin.
neutral · AI labelView post →Tremors 2: Aftershock is a perfect movie. No I will not explain further. Also, Jon Bernthal could play Earl in a reboot or sequel. Perfect stand in for Fred Ward.
positive · AI labelView post →Watched this movie on repeat as a kid. Growing up with 50s/60s monster movies; it was a perfect monster movie for a 90s kid. Tbh, only found out in the last two or so years that Tremors 2 was STV - always thought it was in theaters. Which I also watched on repeat as a kid.
