TREMORS 3: BACK TO PERFECTION (2001)

MORGAN'S RATING

Those morphing, man-eating monsters are shaking things up again in the dusty town of Perfection, Nevada  -- and survivalist Burt Gummer is the only solution to the latest in evolution! Aided by a couple of young local entrepreneurs, Burt pits his impressive knowledge of weaponry against the newest and deadliest generation of Graboids. If Burt and his new partners can't find a way to stop them, then the creatures that put Perfection on the map will wipe it right off the face of the earth. Tremors 3 promises earth-shaking, explosive, edge-of-your-seat entertainment!

CRITICAL COMMENTS

"Hardcore fans of the series will probably enjoy themselves. The rest of you, however, won't be missing anything if you on this one." -- David Cornelius, Amazing Colossal Website

[Suggesting names for the flying monsters] Jodi: Assblasters. How's that? Jack: Sounds like a porno film.

Jodi: Anybody got a lighter? Jack: Burt's got one. Burt: What makes you think that? Jack: 'Cause...you're Burt. Burt: [presenting lighter] Damn right I am.

"The third best in the series is still pretty damned entertaining." -- James Hill, Bet.com

"While Tremors 3 certainly isn't about to win any awards for originality, fans of the series should find enough to keep them entertained." -- Scott Weinberg, Apollo Guide
