First of all I swear I do not belong to team that made this excellent movie. Yes I gave it score 10/10. Why ? In my life I have watched a lots of movies, cause I really enjoy to watch a good movie, its one of my favorite forms of entertainment ! Back to movie; this movie from the very first minutes in the silver mine had all my attention 100% until the very end! Quality of picture is amazingly high, scenery most appropriate and the way the camera operates really makes it all very alive. While I really enjoyed original Tremors with Kevin BAcon, this is first movie in franchise that in my humble opinion lacks absolutely nothing comparing it with the original ! I will be very sincere and honest as possible here without any artificial over exaggeration ! I have enjoyed movie immensely as said already from the beginning till the very last second of it. All scenes are very authentic, plot is very very nice and even dramatic, there is even some factor of unpredictability, specially in character of Hiram Gummer--that would be grandpa of legendary Burt Gummer. His acting in this on surpasses clearly all his previous roles in great way. I would say even that his acting is very close to perfect in this movie. All together ; plot, scenes, acting, special effects --is very well done, even fantastic for the given budget ! Its also obvious that MAster --the great Greg NIcotero (The Walkin Dead) was part of team,(already in TV -series which was also on top quality level --acting, effects , really really good and its amazing that only one season was made !!!) WHile I enjoy previous 2 sequels, this one is entirely on different level, movie simply sucked my whole attention, scenes was really realistically made and actors gave all they could--no holding back. Right from the first till very last cast acted really great, and Michale Gross even supremely. How this movie did not made it to the theaters I will never understand, its a cult movie for god sake, it deserves all praises possible. Until now it have become clear obviously that I enjoyed this movie even more than the first one! OK it have Bacon , but Gross have in this one surpassed BAcon in my humble opinion. This WAS top acting performance, totally convincable ! All movie holds you in some secret energy and I really felt energy in this movie, comparing this, previous 2 are plastic, shallow and dead (altough I loved them both) Yes even first one is shallow comparing to this one, and I make a stand here ! For example , finale of first Tremors was really nothing special --right in middle that movie shines ! But this one TRemors 4 --is slow build up, slow build up --one dramatic event full of powerful emotions and feelings after another and when you think even more its not possible there comes grand finale which is really like some kind of orgasm, very very well and dramatically made --and there is very few directors and movies that made good end. THis is one of them. Of course it hurts me to see unjust really too low ratings of this amazing and beautiful movie, it is really really very very much underrated ! So maybe stay open minded and see this movie without head filled with prejudices that came from others opinion or from ones own limited perception..so please Im begging you watch and listen this movie with open eyes, heart and mind and with full attention, if you are not dead rock I guarantee you, that you will not be disappointed, and then watch it again and again, and slowly you will find out that this movie is a Masterpiece !!!

It's 1889 in the town of Rejection, Nevada. A recent Graboid attack in the nearby silver mine has empty most of the town. The remaining few must rally around the newcomer to town and mine owner Hiram Gummer (Michael Gross) to restart the abandoned mine and battle the monsters.Like the 'Back to the Future' franchise, once they travel back in time to the old west, there's something about the old west that seems to be a black hole for franchises. That's what this movie represents. It says somebody has run out of ideas. The Graboid hasn't metamorphosed yet. So only the ground burrowing kind is there this time. That's probably a good thing. Michael Gross is the only one left in the franchise. There really isn't anything left. This vein is truly played out.

Firstly, some disclaimers... 1) I LOVE Tremors (the original with Mr. Bacon); 2) I LOVE naff movies; 3) MILD spoilers exist, namely setting the scene - not telling you who might die and how it ends (although I'm sure you can all guess).Phew, now I feel I can review and it won't mind that I am bias!Okay, it's not going to win many awards, unless it is for 'Best Sequel/Prequel for Tremors', but it's thoroughly enjoyable.Set in ye olde days (they don't specify a year and I won't hazard to make a wild guess and get it entirely wrong) in the town of Rejection. Wouldn't you know it, it is soon under attack by beloved 'grabboids'. Insert plot whereby the town folk try to neutralise the threat!Personally, it starts weak even with flashes of 'grabboids'. I'm glad I stuck through it though because it becomes quite a quaint, charming little film. CG and puppetry is great, giving you a true feeling of the original, and it's much better than Tremors 2 and 3.Watch it because you love the first one. Watch it because you love 'naff' movies. Watch it because it's on and you haven't much else to do. Would I watch it again? Yes. Would I buy it? Only as part of a 4-pack!

Tremors 4: The Legend Begins is set during 1889 in Nevada where the residents of a small town named Rejection rely on a nearby silver mine for their income, however things are not well at the silver mine as several miners have been mysteriously killed there & no-one will now go anywhere near it. The mines owner Hiram Gummer (Michael Gross) travels from Philidelphia to see things for himself, he finds an almost deserted town with worried locals & a mine that is crawling with vicious worm like creatures. Hiram sends for a gunfighter & 'Black Hand' Kelly (Billy Drago) turns up, he agrees to kill the creatures but when they find the creatures they have mutated into huge worms that can eat a person in one go. As the giant worms move closer to Rejection the residents decide to stay & fight them...Executive produced & directed by S.S. Wilson this apparently had the working title of Tremors: Original Showdown & was the third sequel to the excellent 90's monster film Tremors (1990) which is generally considered a bit of a classic & while Tremors 4: The Legend Begins is hardly any sort of classic it makes for a passable period monster film that passes 90 odd minutes harmlessly enough. The script here does the by now standard plot device of introducing yet another new creature, this time little baby Graboids, but does a Back to the Future Part III (1990) & transports the main action back to the Wild West of the late nineteenth century & basically has lots of parallels with the previous modern day set Tremors films as the very beginnings of Perfection, the shop that ends up being run by a Chinese family named the Chang's & Burt Gummer's ancestor & how his family came to live in perfection along with various in-jokes & other references that foreshadow events & character's to come. Of course there's the usual Graboid action too which feels just like the other films with little new, I quite liked the period setting & the story was decent while when Billy Drago turns up & he & Hiram play off against each other is also fun & it moves along at a reasonable pace even if the first half can drag a bit at times although overall I thought this was a definite improvement over the previous sequel Tremors 3: Back to Perfection (2001).The idea of the mine setting could have been rather cool as the Graboids could have attacked from all sides, beneath, the sides & above but this potential isn't realised out of the opening sequence unfortunately. The previous two Tremors sequels introduced different creatures but neither the Shriekers or the ridiculous awful Ass Blasters are seen here. The special effects & CGI work is alright but nothing special & there's a bit more gore than expected with a decapitated head & a headless torso seen. The period production design is nice enough but it does feel like stock costumes & props with little to distinguish this although there's a ridiculously huge gun at the end the recoil of which would surely have broken your arm if you ever tried to fire it.The IMDb reckons this had a budget of about $5,000,000 & if that's true than that's a decent budget, it looks nice enough & is well made but nothing really stands out. The acting is fine, Michael Gross returns again as he becomes the only actor to appear in all four Tremors film while the always watchable Billy Drago is great although he is given too little screen time.Tremors 4: The Legend Begins is a pretty good third sequel to a somewhat tired franchise, there's nothing especially wrong with this but it's adequate & average at best. The IMDb lists Tremors V: The Thunder from Down Under (2010) as in production.
