It took damn near a minute into the first trailer for TREMORS: SHRIEKER ISLAND for me to realize that none other than Napoleon Dynamite (Jon Heder) was starring alongside franchise icon, Michael Gross. So that's where he's been. The long-running horror/comedy series is set to unleash its seventh installment later this year with TREMORS: SHRIEKER ISLAND, and you can check out the new trailer above!
When a nature preserve in the Solomon Islands is infiltrated by Graboids, Ass Blasters, and Shriekers, two of the preserve’s top scientists recruit Burt Gummer (Michael Gross), monster hunter extraordinaire, to eradicate the infestation. While there, Burt picks up a potential new protégé and encounters lost love. Although I haven't caught any of the sequels that followed the original film, they clearly have a dedicated following who never tire of watching ol' Burt Gummer taking out Graboids.
The official synopsis for TREMORS: SHRIEKER ISLAND:
When a group of wealthy trophy hunters genetically modify Graboid eggs to create the ultimate hunting experience, it isn’t long before their prey escapes the confines of their small island and begin terrorizing the inhabitants of a nearby island research facility. The head of the research facility and her second-in-command Jimmy locate the one man who is an expert in killing Graboids: the one and only and now reluctant, Burt Gummer. Once on board, Burt leads the group in an all-out war against the larger, faster, and terrifyingly intelligent Graboids and the swiftly multiplying Shriekers!
TREMORS: SHRIEKER ISLAND will debut on Digital/DVD/Blu-ray on October 20, 2020. A seven-film TREMORS collection will also be released on the same day.
