Review Summary

When loyal Earl Basset and Valentine Mckee (the discoverers of the Graboid monsters) fan Grady Hoover comes to Earl to ask for his help in stopping the creatures in Mexico, Earl hesitates, but finally agrees. The two are also assisted by a scientist and Burt Gummer, another survivor from the original Graboid incident. It seems to be the same routine of run-then-kill monster, until there's a new monster on the block...
AJ, Resident Scholar

In this sequel to 'Tremors' we find Fred Ward reluctantly agreeing to go 'Graboid' hunting when the creatures have been found wreaking havoc in Mexico. He has a new, enthusiastic young partner with too much enthusiasm, and no clue of what he's in for. They are soon over their heads, because the 'Graboids' are mutating and multiplying every time they eat!
Cherie Davidson, Resident Scholar
