Tremors 4 (2004)

Hey Cannon Cruisers fans! This week, we’re heading back in time with Tremors 4: The Legend Begins (2004), directed by S.S. Wilson. Set a century before the original, Michael Gross returns as Hiram Gummer, an ancestor who finds himself way out of his depth when the first “dirt dragons” rise up in a Nevada mining town. We look at the Western backdrop, the practical effects that bring the early graboids to life, and how the film adds to the franchise’s lore. With a mix of solid action, a few rough edges, and some fun callbacks, Tremors 4 shows there’s still life in the series—even in the Old West.
