Been some years now since I last visited these films, used to enjoy watching them on late night cable during the 90s and early 00s. But since re-visiting the first ones, I admit they had not held up that well, enjoyable but like with the Critters films the nostalgic part might have "covered" up some of the "holes" here and there and I think I rated the two first ones with 6/10s and the later ones with 5/10 or 4/10s. However, the TV-showed which I think was rather shortlived ended up as a nice surprise and I think I actually rated it above any of the films. Might look up on the new one, but first maybe try and re-watch the originals and see what I think of them again.

I love the first one. The second one is pretty good too. I bow out of the series after that one.

I don't think I have ever watched a show that was designed to go "straight to video" so I visited only the first entry in this series.

I just purchased the "Tremors Anthology" 5-movie blu-ray set from Amazon.com.uk for 8.32 pounds.
"All five films in the sci-fi horror franchise. In 'Tremors' (1990) handymen Val McKee (Kevin Bacon) and Earl Basset (Fred Ward) are preparing to leave Perfection, Nevada, when their departure is halted by strange rumblings beneath the earth. When seismology student Rhonda LeBeck (Finn Carter) then reveals that the tremors have been caused by giant underground monsters, the unlikely trio soon find themselves in a battle to survive. In 'Tremors 2 - Aftershocks' (1995) Earl and Burt Gummer (Michael Gross) reunite to combat the burrowing monsters once again. Teaming up with scientist Kate Reilly (Helen Shaver), the group attempt to track down and destroy the killer worms in the oil fields of Mexico. In 'Tremors 3 - Back to Perfection' (2001) Burt returns to his hometown of Perfection to face down a group of corrupt property developers. However, things soon go from bad to worse when a third mutated strain of monsters makes its presence felt. 'Tremors 4 - The Legend Begins' (2004) is the prequel to 'Tremors' (1990). When workers in the remote mining town of Rejection, Nevada, fall victim to an unseen predator, the mine's owner, Hiram Gummer (Gross), hires a mercenary to destroy the carnivorous creatures before they swallow his profits. Finally, in 'Tremors 5 - Bloodlines' (2015), hardened survivalist Burt returns as he hunts down a supposedly isolated subterranean monster in the South African wilderness. However, the hunters soon become the hunted when Burt and the rest of his crew, including wildlife reserve worker Travis Welker (Jamie Kennedy), discover what they're really up against..."
