Tremors: A Cold Day in Hell
Short description
Burt Gummer and his son Travis Welker travel to the Canadian arctic to look into a series of deadly attacks by giant worms. What they find at a remote research station is a whole population of Graboids at various stages of development, and Burt comes to suspect that the creatures are being turned into weapons. Before he can prove anything, he is poisoned by one of them, leaving him with a limited amount of time to find a cure.
The film is directed by Don Michael Paul, the eleventh of the fifteen features he has directed to date, made between Death Race: Beyond Anarchy and Scorpion King: Book of Souls. John Whelpley wrote the screenplay, and Mike Elliott produced. Michael Gross returns as Burt Gummer, the role he has played across the series, with Jamie Kennedy as Travis Welker, Tanya van Graan as Dr. Rita Sims, Stephanie Schildknecht as Aussie, Jamie-Lee Money as Valerie McKee and Jay Anstey as Dr. D.
Released in 2018, the film runs 98 minutes and was produced by Universal 1440 Entertainment in the United States and South Africa. On IMDb it holds a rating of 5 out of 10 from around 7,700 votes, while on TMDB it stands at 5.8 out of 10 from roughly 471 votes. A critics' rating of 5.5 out of 10 from five reviews places it close to the audience scores, indicating a modest reception across the board.
What's left behind the scenes
- The film is set in northern Canada, but the cars shown are right-hand drive, as filming took place in South Africa.
- Michael Gross suggested changing his character's headwear to a Chicago Cubs baseball cap, because he himself is a fan of the club, and because there was no reason for his character to wear an Atlanta Hawks cap, except that Gross himself chose it during the filming of the 1990 film that started the franchise.
- Michael Gross is the only actor to appear in all of the films in the franchise.
