Tremors has too many direct-to-video sequels. One of them’s a prequel that takes place in the Wild West where Burt’s great-grandfather was a sheriff or whatever. Never actually seen it. Someone should make a different prequel about Edgar’s final hours stuck up on the transmission tower where it’s like The Snows of Kilimanjaro except he’s a homeless derelict out in rural Nevada. A Tremors prequel that’s profound and artistic that the tremor monster underground is a non-symbolic metaphor for Edgar’s alcoholism, always lurking beneath the surface of everything in his life.
