Tremors 4 : The Legend Begins (2004) 7/10

Starring : Michael Gross, Sara Botsford, Billy Drago
Director : S S Wilson
Running Time : 96 mins

Its 1889, and the silver mine that is the only real income for the town of Rejection has become the site of a number of mysterious deaths. When it is discovered that a number of strange eggs have hatched down there, and rumour starts to spread that the inhabitants of the eggs are responsible for the deaths, the mine is closed down until the arrival of Hiram Gummer (Gross) into town, who decides to investigate further...

I actually liked this because it went back to how the Graboids were originally conceived in the first movie. By going back to basics, we manage to avoid all the nonsense of the second and third movie, giving them legs, making them smaller, and eventually teaching them to breath fire and fly! The plot is just as simple, with a wild west twist, and the characters and situations keep this fresh, which is surprising for a straight to video sequel.
