Tremors A Cold Day in Hell Review

hello world wide web I'm Tiger shadow the universe now that the best air and while it seems the new tremors TV series starting Kevin Bacon is fizzled out that doesn't mean the movie series is no longer with us as we see with today's movie tremors a cold day in hell released just a couple weeks ago straight to video the sixth movie in the tremors franchise yet again stars Michael Gross as Burt Gummer survivalist and graboid exterminator also Jamie Kennedy returns to reprise his role as the man's son though this time their adventures take them far far away from South Africa not the film crew though the movie was made in South Africa and I got a bustling film industry now it's like how every high-end movie is filmed in Los Angeles and every low-end movie is filmed in Bulgaria but what reason does Burt Gummer have to leave the sweltering heat for the frozen north graboids naturally scientific expeditions go awry when said scientists keep getting eaten by horrifying subterranean monsters and it's up to Burt Gummer to head up there and save them and maybe actually form a real familial bond with his son this time because evidently the last movie didn't count but hey if I found out Jamie Kennedy was my son it would probably take me a little longer than 90 minutes to accept that so let's take a look at tremors a cold day in hell and see what chilled scientist tastes like we open to the frozen north or rather the mildly chilly north as our scientists make small talk about how hot it is which might be because it's summer but that's hardly the most strange occurrence today it seems one of them is detecting massive subterranean movement which isn't the easiest thing to explain there's no big life-forms that live in solid ice maybe the backscatter in fact brought up a rock formation yeah maybe it's Easter Bunny maybe it's the Easter Bunny played by Dwayne the rock Johnson less than three minutes out of the movie starts we get our answer as to what those weird subterranean anomalies are quite definitively [Applause] graboids massive terrifying and fortunately not going to kill any dogs on screen anytime soon they just run the [ __ ] away also wasn't the redesign explained all away as the African variant last movie without gotten with that as a small team of scientists are nowhere near prepared for a graboid attack they're all picked off so quickly I didn't even bother bringing up who played any of them besides we got to head back to perfection and see Burt Gummer played once again by Michael Gross getting ready for the arrival of the dreaded taxman agent dull quit played by Danny Kaye oh is that a pellet gun go you bet your sweet ass it is let's just be a little more careful firing off those things indoors shoot your eye out Burt didn't have to lose an eye though to not see this one coming doc weed has his tax your point dickweed your tax position has been deemed frivolous by the IRS and your property has impact being seized what it's your basic financial crisis hook to get to here asset to the adventure it's understandable considering Burt's age but graboids in the Arctic my back hurts I'm going to miss Dancing with the Stars to make matters worse who should just so happen to show up at Burt's son Travis played by Jamie Kennedy of course Burt's not the happiest to see him but if anything Travis does have some ideas as to what the men can do to make some Bank real fast put some great content up when you do try and resurrect that bullseye Brad not doing prepper videos anymore my director quit on me no he didn't he's right here and just had a small mental health break which really didn't need to that big of an explanation as to why it wouldn't work Universal have you talked with many youtubers lately ad pocalypse mean anything to you [ __ ] try uploading prepper videos in 2018 with an emphasis on guns without getting your channel deleted let alone ad revenue moving on change teams oh I had to point that out cuz that way this was from Hawks to Cubs can be filed on IMDB under trivia instead of goofs by the way he's running change shop now but with the IRS on his ass and his son popping up out of nowhere he needs a little downtime not necessarily the best ideas he's not of the most sound mind after all he's been the sure I mean graboid stock footage rolling across the screen Samsa like a nice cheap easy way to have a lot of months of showing up really fast you don't have to pay for except the old graboid design looks much much different from the new one and they don't bring up that discrepancy in the slightest his mental instability is a secret to everyone besides we have a plot to move forward it seems as a call from an Arctic research station who claims they have reason to believe that they are dealing with an infestation of graboids why are you so sure this is a graboid attack hillside has all the tell-tale signs except for location there's also the hook of the last movie so it's maybe try and keep more of an open mind there Burt eventually Burt caves to the call of adventure and it's on to a slo-mo much too kick ass and take names in the great white north except of course the Sun insists on coming with and in attempt to capitalize on the situation and help get Burt's finances back on track about your legacy huh what about it do you know of any other graboid hunters out there it was Kevin Bacon that trailer for the new tremors TV series look pretty [ __ ] sweet yeah he also seems to have aspirations of taking over Michael grasses role as a big graboid hunting hero of the Travers series after he dies like some balding middle-aged money-grubbing Menendez brother come on that's that's a little harsh I okay to be fair he's not looking forward to the guy's death with some kitty anticipation he just would like to learn as much from him as possible while he still can eventually he does manage to convince Burt he's willing to follow orders at least well enough to not piss off Burt too much over the course of 90 or so minutes and they're off to the Canadian Arctic being flown there by Mac played by Adrian Pearce belching sled-dog unemployment selling Oh time honey well it cited a deter the fact that you filming movie in South Africa this would be a nice calm flight into Canada with a few bottles of liquor to smuggle if not for the southern ass blaster attack which Clues burden very quickly as to the validity of the claims of graboids in the area but a they took out that beast in short order and destroyed their own engine but you know what they say if you want to make an omelet out of your own face they're fine Burt Gummer 'he's in the plane so a tiny problem like losing your engine isn't even enough to make the landing any worse than lively bumpy unless of course you count getting the attention of DARPA introducing our sunglass protect [ __ ] for this Vil mr. Kutz played by Paul Dutoit need to retreat till I get this area cleared out great help we just gettin started up here we did just recently pass the 20-minute mark give them more time to regret mingling with graboids he doesn't stick around for very long because we have more characters to introduce like the local guide ah Clark played by keno Lee Hector and of course the researcher and graboid enthusiast who called Burt down here in the first place Valery McKee played by Jamie Lee money I'm Val in Radha's daughter no Balan Rhonda from the og graboid apocalypse crazy huh dear God don't tell me they pull the Will Smith & main this son Ronnie while they were at it I can't stick around though they need to bring them and the busted ass airplane back to the research station to introduce more characters dr. Simms played by tanja von Braun and the guy who just can't handle himself a defense situation Charles Ferrazzi spelled fries play by French it's gonna Sabini but you have to find me back to Montreal so I can report to the powers that be about the recent renovations well they'll just have to wait till I get this puppy airborne again but of course the only way out is flying Mac's planes busted and [ __ ] nobody else at this station or the darker one thought maybe have a spare helicopter in case of this kind of situation now that everyone outside has met mr. Gummer they move inside for more character introductions slack hammer over here played by Rob Van Buren might just be making eggs now but he is a combat hardened veteran who helped build this facility with his bare hands we've also got monster drink enthusiast Hart Henson play back hero Shannon I do we establish at Hanson really likes flying RC airplanes and there's also geothermal activity in the area as evidenced by the local hot springs that explains the eBay's to be fair Burt I think that's kind of why the tremors TV series starring Kevin Bacon was looking like it was gonna be hitting that big old reset button on graboid biology once you name one of your creatures officially ass-blaster you kinda forfeit your expectations to be taken seriously now thinks of the graboids are in fact the first graboids released only now after the warmer climates melted the permafrost why they look like the African variant is a mystery she cunningly never brings up but Burt has his own theories as to where the creatures came from but he shares secretly with dr. Simms you think that our research neighbors are breeding these creatures as bio weapons no honestly that makes more sense than them originating here devolving over time in America and then revolving over in Africa no time to explore this line of thinking too much as an ass blaster attacks of course Mr Freeze is walking around like an [ __ ] so a handy dandy nameless nobody shows up to make sure at least the other guy lives slightly longer you have a minute we need to go through the details again we've been through it it wasn't a panic graboid attack thanks Oscar Peterson who plays royal mounted even though it's jacket clearly says Johnson this gives the men enough time to run Tripp get up run again and hide long enough for Burt to come in to rescue him but first a little pep talk I think my balls got mentioned on the angry Joe show once put it all is the ass blessed to see heat signatures so this handy-dandy thermal camouflage will save the man so long as he does exactly what Burt does a daunting task as on the way back to shelter where it starts freaking out again and the doctor has to keep up with his crazy ass game of Simon Says at least until the ass blaster is destroyed and wakes up in the infirmary where's my munitions my combat best my clothes huh dear life you can't blame the guy what the hell is he supposed to do without a frame so he established the Bert doesn't trust Travis but Travis is worried that his father isn't as healthy as he thinks he is again but don't let that get you down DARPA is doing some tests on the water in the nearby hot springs finding the acid levels unusually high what could this mean graboids in the water funny how I got this mood as he graboids in the icin outside of the opening scene I ain't seen him we don't necessarily see this graboid either it's one of those cleverly shot and edited kills where they don't even have to spend any money on monster effects to pull it off we do get a good look at what's going on in Bert's brain however seems it's not just post traumatic graboid disorder that's got him down but a parasitic slow-acting toxin that has been slowly growing inside him over the years graboid venom but how did it get there I was in the belly of the beast just ignore all those times I graboids blew the [ __ ] up and their guts got all over the area and the population it's being eaten part that's the part that's a little too unsanitary the scientists realized the only way to cure him is with an antidote crafted from fresh graboid venom from a living graboid Travis thinks this is the best course of action but Burt has no interest in pursuing this line of thinking when they have graboids to exterminate like this one who reaches in through a window and graboids hurt by the wisi well the problem of graboids on their doorstep the plan is to load up prepare for a war and for the love of God don't make a sound unless it's to establish something that's going to be very important later I guess well I think that a graboid passing underneath them causing a tremor would just make the thing shake a little bit wouldn't it I know it's one of those tentacles came up and just looked once I think I think the graboid ends up moving away anyway but only because it's hunting new prey dr. Flores he kind of makes all that effort they put in as saving his useless ass even more pointless but [ __ ] it it means the body count Rises I'm not sure the current surance covers slow motion or if his life insurance covers acts performed off screen as well the graboid CJ in this movie is pretty good for the budget they still felt the need to kill this guy with that nasty just out of frame monster you get in so many movies I can't believe what that thing did to dr. Farhat see you mind letting us in on it no time because they have to figure out what to do about these graboids funny thing there's an underground water source plus metal reinforcements that go all the way down utilizing this and their generator they believe they can create an underground electric fence to keep the graboids at bay also when DARPA comes in Burt confronts them about their nefarious plans to breed graboids in the Arctic as a biological weapon I'm here with an engineering team to assess the purity of the groundwater and to design an aquifer to move it out of the Arctic and in a civilization this is about water this water you say are you trying to unlock the secrets of homeopathy and train its water memory to be the perfect arctic aqua assassins and I just need more sources of fresh water for people and their job has been made much harder with the giant subterranean monster problem like the one that breaks through the floor and eats one of the [ __ ] really makes it hard to concentrate on filling out paperwork now well on with the plan first I have to get everyone to the right building so Travis hops on an ATV to lure the Beast away from the rest of the group biomechanics are [Music] do I spy a fellow fan of the xenomorph maybe that line was to make it less awkward or more awkward that she has romantic feelings for Travis and thus can get into precarious situations that can only be solved through fanservice that is pretty [ __ ] cold up here but Khan it's not just gratuitous nudity here it's a homage to the original movie where the lady just had to take her pants off to escape the graboid so take off your pants unfortunately they just shoot the tentacle saving her with her pants now well they need more diversions to give these two the ability to escape the trucks so Hanson drops his pants and pisses on the monsters that pissed them off with the beasts distracted they run for the hangar but of course Bert's got that whole slow-acting poison thing working through his blood and brain think of it like a surprise acid trip don't worry though Bert's fine there's a rock nearby for him to take refuge on and all the rest of the guys keep the graboid out of a hangar with that handy dandy underground electric fence DARPA is attacked by the monsters destroying their facility and killing the [ __ ] out of them oh well just gives birth the chance to hoof it the last 30 feet to the hangar and they can get back to the important things yelling at each other Oh give you the right to meddle in my affairs hey I'm the result to one of your affairs remember yes yes no that part was a status last movie kind of the reason he's been calling you dad all this time they have more important things to worry about though like the fact that they left Hanson out there all alone on the automatic core sample driller thing and it's kicked into gear so they must save him this calls for a whole lot of vibration at work as a distraction while they crank up the electric fence to double power and kill the graboid well I guess they were trying mortal kombat rules electrocute something enough and they just explode with blood and guts everywhere slight problem with this is the little stunt blew the generator and wouldn't you know it there are more graboids about also Burt [ __ ] collapses meaning that Travis has to make the command decisions now this also involves finding the one surviving DARPA agent mr. Kutz and negotiating a deal in exchange for his rescue remove all the tax liens on mr. Gummer the last 27 years and give him back his house I don't make sure that you stay on this side of the tundra yeah whatever done we also don't want to pay taxes for the rest of our life federal or state yeah Nevada doesn't have state taxes yeah no federal taxes I'd also like my own personal chauffeur for midnight Dairy Queen runs and limits are all possible good night cat be the new state bird so he's rescued the happy ending is pretty much known at this point but no bother they can distract the graboid with a little music dancing and explosions while Travis gets everyone to build the graboid trap to hopefully save Burt from that deadly toxin when I get a position rock the cradle I'm baiting the hub ooh the handy-dandy Newton's Cradle allowing them to lure the creature with vibrations without having to be near it because it'll just keep going in theory personally I've never seen one go for longer than maybe a minute they don't need it going that long anyway and I'm more impressed by just how exact everything else here had to be between the hook for the graboid the line getting picked up by the airplane and the exact position of the Box it has to land in if I had to pull something like that off in a game I don't want to think about how many times I'd have to reload at the [ __ ] checkpoint but hey they got themselves a handy dandy live graboid that means that Travis can extract some venom from the glands in its throat which means he's got to get in its throat which isn't the most pleasant or sanitary experience at least the gland wasn't in the prostate so I'm gonna bring up the chances that any of the other characters might've been poisoned by the graboids during all of this time or maybe the risk that the arctic crab Boyd's venom might not make the right anti-venom for the American desert graboid venom wow there's less than 10 minutes of movie left so yeah the antidote works and Burt is feeling much better also they still have that live graboid on hand and DARPA who is now very interested in it Burt's rants about them wanting to turn graboids into biological weapons was just inspirational you know of course he saw that turn coming a mile away it has a contingency plan at the ready [Music] but you might want to actually milked its gland a few more times before doing that lots of people hear graboid guts all over but just all I'm saying anyway happy ending the graboids are dead the vast majority of the characters survived and Travis gives dr. Sims a goodbye kiss that goodbye kiss a man brings a big bore 44 Magnum to a fight some broke dick 22 come on past I was at least a 22 wnr so Travis goes back for the real goodbye kiss and the movie can end properly on a romance like all movies are supposed to the end which means the graboid in the opening was really the only graboid in the whole movie that ever went through any ice that's this morning anyway that was tremors a cold day in hell and it's not really underwhelming it's not really overwhelming just kind of whelming a cold day in hell feels like a very basic kind of straight-to-video budget horror affair you've got your monsters you've got your assortment of easy to recognize characters as Amy hook a body count and a happy ending with romantic consequences all in all it's just kind of a movie as far as the acting goes it's pretty much about the same quality as the previous tremors movie not hard or anything but the only real standout performances came from Michael Gross who was so a lot of fun to watch portraying the role of Burt Gummer this movie was a bit more of a passing the torch onto Jamie Kennedy though and he's still good is not Michael Gross good but more entertaining than most of the rest of them the thing that is bothering me a lot here is the graboid biology though these designs were new for tremors 5 and was explained that it was an African variant now it's Arctic and they theorized it was the original graboid not only that but yet again Shriekers are completely missing in action graboids and assblasters that's it it does seem like these aren't exactly the same as the African graboid in the sense the tentacles stay inside the creature and don't run off on their own in search of prey anymore still of them that these are indiscernible from the other kind overall tremors a cold day in hell is a pretty by-the-book experience the settings in situation are meant to mix things up don't really explore either - enough of a degree to give us any surprises the graboids actually have less abilities than they did in the previous movie which is very strange for a monster sequel and the whole thing kinda is forgettable still it's presented well enough with enough Burt Gummer in there to keep me entertained throughout and manages to come in at 3 graboid gullet goo gatherings out of 5 it's funny thing I feel like this added even less to the biology of graboids than even the Wild West one did anyway thank you all for watching I've been Dekker sad oh and remember just take your pants off even going commando in the Arctic is way better than being eaten by a [ __ ] graboid [Music] [Music] [Music] biomechanics or sex [Music]
