"Tremors 4" takes the franchise to the beginning, to 1889, to the settlement known as Rejection and the forefathers of a couple of the characters in the first films. The owner of a silver mine travels to Rejection to find out why his mine is no longer open, after the workers abandoned it following some grisly, unexplained deaths. There is much talk of Sand Dragons, and before long, their existence becomes unquestionable, and in order to save the small settlement, the people look to hire a gunslinger to travel to Rejection and help them get rid of the subterranean beasts.
This is a very charming and enjoyable prequel to the franchise, with the casting of Michael Gross as his character's forefather a fitting and welcome touch. The sense of time and place is well evoked, with the props, costumes and the atmosphere of attempting to stake one's claim out in this small settlement. Billy Drago is excellent.
