Burt Gummer to the rescue! It’s been 28 years since we were first introduced to Graboids, the giant subterranean creatures that plagued the isolated town of Perfection. Now, the sixth film of the franchise, Tremors: A Cold Day in Hell is headed to Blu-ray and DVD this May. I’ll be real honest with you, A Cold Day in Hell, in my opinion, is the best of the franchise since the original. At the beginning of the movie, we find Graboid slayer Burt Gummer (Michael Gross) wasting away and mad as hell at tax collectors in Perfection when his son Travis (Jamie Kennedy) returns from a long trip. As soon as Burt goes to take a nap he begins to have what appear to be a combo of nightmares and flashbacks. Just as he rolls out of his hammock, Travis brings news that a team of scientist needs Burt’s expertise. Burt is surprised to learn that the scientists believe there are

Two women on their way to a music festival hitch a ride with two dudes in a stolen car. Things get slightly rapey and the car goes a shootin’ down into a ravine, where our “heroes” become trapped in the overturned vehicle.

While the story line, as evidenced by my lil’ synopsis up there may be a bit lightweight (I actually would call it compact, streamlined, and uncomplicated), Accident more than makes up for it in visual panache. Director Dan Tondowski and Cinematographer Maxime Cointe have created a masterpiece (in the ‘looking good’ department that is) of long, unbroken shots and serpentine camera moves (both natural and digitally enhanced) that are rather astonishing at times, and they also manage to effectively dial it back once the protagonists become trapped within the confines of the

The new action-packed trailer for Tremors: A Cold Day in Hell is here, showing the cast handling some serious hardware a trying to survive a range of Tremors from Ass-Blasters to the big boys. In the film, “Burt Gummer (Michael Gross) and his son Travis Welker (Jamie Kennedy) find themselves up to their ears in Graboids and Ass-Blasters when they head to Canada to investigate a series of deadly giant-worm attacks. Arriving at a remote research facility in the arctic tundra, Burt begins to suspect that Graboids are secretly being weaponized, but before he can prove his theory, he is sidelined by Graboid venom. With just 48 hours to live, the only hope is to create an antidote from fresh venom — but to do that, someone will have to figure out how to milk a Graboid!” Tanya van Graan, Greg Kriek, Jay Anstey, Jenna Upton, Jamie-Lee Money, Christie Peruso, Stephanie Schildknecht, Alistar Moulton Black, Rob van Vuuren, and Kiroshan
