The Worms Have Turned!
The foul-smelling "Graboids" from the original comedy-science-fiction-thriller return to snack on more people in this long-awaited sequel. The original worm hunter is called out of retirement to save Mexican oil fields from the pesky subterranean critters, but they prove to be a bit tougher this time around.I found this to be an amazing sequel. I would have to rank it as one of the best horror sequels ever, considering there aren't too many good horror sequels anyway. Nobody can really say this film is not original. It did in no way copy its original release. It simply stuck with the normal man-eating worms, then changing them into little dinosaur looking creatures called "Shriekers," that were even more dangerous.What worked for me in the film was mostly the action and suspense. Eventhough this one was not really terrifying, it was still worth taking the time to watch. That's why some consider it to be more of an action-thriller. Which I completely understand.One thing I don't understand is, why this sequel never made it to theatres. It would have been an even bigger hit than it is now. Usually bad movies are "direct-to-video" releases, but this movie is awesome and is jam-packed with excitement.If anyone deserves most of the credit, it's Fred Ward and Michael Gross. Fred Ward has a cool personality and Michael Gross was very heroic. And don't forget Christopher Gartin. His humour was great for the film. S.S. Wilson also did an amazing job directing this.So if you haven't seen the sequel, then you should rent it as soon as possible, because you don't have to be a horror fan to like this.This one should not be missed!I hope my review was helpful to you!
