Tremors: Shrieker Island Coming Home October 20
Tremors mainstay Burt Gummer (Michael Gross) returns for the seventh film in the series, Tremors: Shrieker Island. For this latest installment, which hits home video in October, the filmmakers take a page each from the perennial Most Dangerous Game and the Jurassic Park series:
When a group of wealthy trophy hunters genetically modify Graboid eggs to create the ultimate hunting experience, it isn't long before their prey escapes the confines of their small island and begin terrorizing the inhabitants of a nearby island research facility. The head of the research facility and her second-in-command Jimmy (Jon Heder) locate the one man who is an expert in killing Graboids: the one and only, and now reluctant, Burt Gummer (Michael Gross). Once on board, Burt leads the group in an all-out war against the larger, faster, and terrifyingly intelligent Graboids and the swiftly multiplying Shriekers!
The cast also includes Caroline Langrishe, Cassie Clare, Matthew Douglas, Sahajak Boonthanakit, David Asavanond, Jackie Cruz, and Richard Brake.
