6/10
Weaker than the previous movies but still fun
26 July 2004
This likable forth entry in the series doesn't pack quite the punch of its predecessors but is still entertaining. Taking the basic premise back to the wild west was a clever touch, Michael Gross is quite good playing a character diametrically opposed to the one he played in the other movies and Bill Drago is good (as always) playing a super-cool gunfighter.

Still, the first hour feels a bit sluggish at times, closer in spirit to the amusing but not especially exciting Tremors television series than the movies. Around the middle is a genuinely thrilling sequence and the ending is also reasonably exciting. Not as white-knuckle intense as anything from the other movies but it did cause me to cry out with the occasional "whoah!" I would call this worth watching if you're into the series or just want to see a pretty well done monster movie.

But after four movies the series may be getting tired. My advice: time to turn it into a videogame.
