TREMORS 5: Bloodlines (2015)

I was really worried about this one. Universal cut off contact with the original creators of the franchise and went rogue with this one. Luckily the filmmaker they hired had a huge amount of respect for the franchise and leaned on Michael Gross to make sure the film paid proper homage to the property. Ended up with a pretty decent flick. I’m not a fan of redesigning the classic creature but for this story it worked.

After the success of Bloodlines I had hopes that this would at least live up to that level of quality. Unfortunately it did not. Some truly awful writing this go around. After managing to turn out decently in the last film, Jamie Kennedy is easily the worst element of this film. It also saw the return of the new graboid design which was definitely less excusable this go around. Michael Gross is the only redeeming part of this entry.

So, so glad this was not picked up for series. This is the very definition of a vanity project. Bacon and his crew clearly had no respect for the franchise’s history or legacy. Was going to introduce yet another graboid redesign, this one crossing miles over the line of acceptable deviation of the original. Truly awful.
