Tremors 5: Bloodlines (2015) Hey what's up guys.
Today I'll show you a science-fiction action film: "Tremors, part 5: Bloodlines"!
Spoilers ahead, watch out and take care! The film opens with a self-proclaimed survivalist
named Burt, starring in his survivalist web series. Burt has dedicated his life
to killing subterranean man-eating predators, called Graboids. These predators are gigantic
worms or grubs about nine meters long, and prey seismically or through vibrations. They
have three snake-type GPS tentacles to ensnare their prey, pulling them into their mouth.
Graboids produce shorter monsters. One type is called Shriekers, who detect their prey
through infrared sensors. Another kind is the Ass Blasters, a winged creature that
launches itself into the air by igniting an explosive mixture of liquids, and blasts it
through their smelly butts. These Ass Blasters hatch eggs that become new baby Graboids.
In South Africa, a man named Basson, and the field agent hear something shaking underground.
Basson accidentally slips on the rocks, causing him to fall into a cave pit. the field agent
throws Basson the rope, and starts pulling him up. Basson is almost out of the pit, when suddenly a
Graboid emerges from the dark and grabs him. The attack causes the field agent to be pulled too;
but fortunately, the struggle stops. the field agent repeatedly calls out to Basson; but all he
can hear are his screams, before the mysterious predator takes Basson's chopped-off arm.
The scene then changes to the Mojave Desert in Southern Nevada, where a man named Travis,
drives his motorcycle like a real stunt rider to reach Burt. Upon Travis's sudden arrival in
the wildlife, Burt's cameraman leaves him, and gives the job to Travis.
Travis claims that he's a big fan of Burt, and now that he's gonna work with him.
He promises that he will put Burt back into the hunting game. This is because
Burt was fiercely hunting predators before, and now he's just cooking boring rattlesnakes.
While packing their stuff, Travis shares that he's from Florida, a place Burt will never forget.
Their conversation gets interrupted when a South African Wildlife Ministry agent named Erick,
arrives at the scene. Erick informs him about a confirmed sighting of an Ass Blaster in South
Africa. Burt agrees to come; when suddenly, Travis meddles with his business.
Burt doesn't want Travis to come along with him; but Travis argues that it's an opportunity to film
him hunting and killing predators again in Africa. Travis also adds that he's prepared, pulling out
his new hunting gizmo, which he promises to give to Burt if he agrees to let him come.
Burt agrees right away; so Travis makes a deal with Erick. He will fund Burt's videos for the
next three years, in exchange for their help to hunt the Ass Blaster in South Africa. Flying to
the location, Burt befriends their pilot. Seconds before arriving at the location,
Erick informs Burt that South Africa has strict customs regarding weaponry, all of which must
go through the three-day weapon quarantine. Before getting out of the helicopter, Pilot
tells Burt that when the sun rises in Africa, he better be running. Pilot then gives Burt a
horn containing his name and contact number. As Pilot leaves, Burt tells everyone that the area
is clean from Graboids. He has a seismic vibration monitor uplinked to the national seismologic
network, that can detect Graboids' movement within a 50-mile square area. Erick then introduces the
local field agent and a safari guide in the area. Erick's assistant is also introduced.
Burt informs everyone that Graboids and Ass Blasters are immune to any known tranquilizers,
rendering ordinary weapons useless. On the other hand, two paleontologists at
the Lake Dig Site cheer in delight, as they find a Graboid's fossilized remains.
The hunters arrive at an animal refuge, where they meet Baruti, one of the animal's caretakers;
a little girl whom Travis befriends; and the girl's mother, Dr. Nandi, a veterinarian.
As Burt's heavy weaponry is impounded due to South African gun laws, Erick provides him with a small
collection of guns that are almost useless. Travis immediately flirts with Nandi; but Burt
interrupts them as he wants to start the hunting right away. However, Erick insists they take a
rest, and start it first thing in the morning. On the other hand, paleontologists celebrate their
discovery with glasses of wine under the shower they have made with fabrics and some lodges,
while listening to radio music. However, the music's vibration attracts
a Graboid's attention; and before they know it, the predator emerges from underground and
attacks them. Back to the hunters, the field agent is telling them about the location where
Basson was grabbed and killed by presumably an Ass Blaster, when they hear a noise in the clouds.
It is when rain falls even though it's sunny, and the village experiences this every day at three
in the afternoon. Suddenly, Baruti comes running and informs them of another attack. They arrive
at the dig site where Burt sees the fossil, and realizes it's a different breed of Graboid.
Later that night, Travis joins Nandi in attending a local tribal dance of the natives.
Meanwhile, Baruti expresses his dislike of the monster hunters to Erick's assistant,
especially Travis, whom he considers his rival to Nandi. As they repair a car, an Ass Blaster
suddenly attacks them. Erick's assistant manages to instill a wound on the predator
with his bolo, before Burt arrives. Burt shoots it while it's in a vehicle;
but the bullets are not enough to kill it. The Ass Blaster flies away before returning and
taking Erick's assistant away. Burt says that the engine must have attracted the predator;
but Baruti claims it is cold. The field agent helps Burt find Erick's assistant,
lying on the bridge, unmoved. Burt tells the field agent to turn off the engine, which he does.
Burt wears a heat-blocking gear to hide his heat signature, before going out to save Erick's
assistant. Burt approaches Erick's assistant, who's in bad condition. When he gets near,
the Ass Blaster comes out and flies away again with Erick's assistant.
Burt attempts to kill the predator with his bullets; but he is unsuccessful.
The Ass Blaster then lands on the car, panicking the field agent, who calls out for Burt's help.
As he's out of ammunition, Burt takes Erick's assistant's bolo,
and tosses it to the Ass Blaster, successfully hitting the predator. The Ass Blaster takes off
wounded, and Burt runs to the car. As they return to the animal refuge,
Burt snaps at Travis and Nandi for attending the local tribal dance, instead of preparing to hunt
those predators. Burt instructs Nandi to evacuate everyone as soon as possible, while he tells the
others to load every gun they have. Burt harshly tells Travis to back off,
and help with the evacuation to be useful. Nandi then shows up with a beautiful rifle
which she gives to Burt, who takes off with Erick and the field agent. They also bring
a big ass cage to put the Ass Blaster after capturing it. They arrive at the cave pit,
where Basson was killed and where it turns out to be an Ass Blaster colony.
Burt sees an Ass Blaster not far from them, so he instructs Erick and the field agent to stand
behind him, so the predator cannot read their heat signature. Burt throws a thermal flame to attract
the predator, while the field agent shoots it with a dart. They successfully catch its attention,
but despite Burt's instructions to stay with him, Erick and the field agent run to the vehicle.
This causes the Ass Blaster to fly towards the field agent instead of Burt, who repeatedly
shoots it with his rifle. The predator takes off; but Burt remains focused on it. After
a few seconds of observing it fly, Burt bursts the predator into flame with his rifle, killing
the field agent accidentally in the process, when its remains fall onto him. Meanwhile,
tension ensues between Travis and Baruti when they both decide to stay at the refuge.
On the other hand, Burt discovers that the Ass Blasters have been laying eggs,
soon to be Graboids. This prompts Erick to reveal himself as a poacher, planning to sell the eggs
that cost a large amount of money on the black market. Travis locks Burt in a cage and leaves
with the eggs. As the heat of South Africa hits Burt the next day, Burt showers with his pee,
uses it as an insect repellent, and even gargles some of it before drinking. Hours later, a lion
appears and pees on him with its hormones. Suddenly, Burt panics after hearing his seismic
vibration monitor going off, meaning there's a Graboid nearby. The lion takes off while Burt
talks to himself, describing how he will kill the Graboid. Fortunately, it's Travis with a truck
that he connects to the cage with chains. Burt informs him that a Graboid is coming,
so Travis immediately returns to the truck, and drives it along the bumpy road. However,
a huge rock breaks their truck down, stopping them from leaving. Travis frees Burt,
who thinks he might be delusional and tells Travis about Erick's betrayal.
However, Travis is not so shocked anymore, as he has done a digital investigation of Erick.
It turns out, the South African Wildlife Ministry doesn't even exist. Burt adds that Erick is on the
run with an Ass Blaster egg, that would lead to unfathomable consequences if sold to the
black market. Left with no choice, Burt and Travis head back to the refuge on foot.
On the other hand, Nandi grabs her bow and arrows after hearing an Ass Blaster flying by the refuge.
Baruti takes the little girl to her room as instructed by Nandi.
She finds the refuge's engines and electric poles destroyed by the Ass Blaster.
The predator stomps on the roof at this time, causing Baruti to fire while the girl hides.
Baruti and the girl run outside, only to be stopped by the Ass Blaster, leaving them with no
choice but to hide in the kitchen. The predator still follows them inside, so they hide behind
a steel table to hide their heat signatures. Baruti fires at the Ass Blaster that continues
to attack them. Just as he runs out of ammo, two arrows pierce through the table as Nandi has
come and killed the predator. Meanwhile, Burt and Travis find Erick's truck crashed in the desert,
which alarms them. They also find Erick's footprints, indicating that he's alive.
Suddenly, a wounded Erick appears, repeatedly screaming while running with a suitcase
containing the Ass Blaster egg. A predator grabs the suitcase, leaving Erick devastated.
with no choice, he runs onto the rocks as they cannot reach him there.
Burt instructs him to stay on the rocks when the Graboid's GPS tentacles detach from its host.
Burt shoots one of the tentacles that attack Erick, causing Erick to fall to the ground.
The ground shakes as a massive Graboid with its detachable tentacles emerges, eating Erick.
Burt theorizes that the African life must have mutated the Graboids, hence its detachable
tentacles and even the Ass Blasters that ignore the heat signatures. So they must get
into the cave, and destroy all the eggs to end the Graboid's life cycle. Travis volunteers to go into
the cave with a grenade, which Burt reluctantly agrees to in exchange for his phone.
Travis bravely enters the cave with a thermal flare, while Burt contacts Pilot for transport
and more weaponry. Travis finds numerous Ass Blasters eggs when he encounters an Ass Blaster.
Travis pulls the grenade pin just in time, as he runs out of the cave and kills the predator.
Shortly after, Pilot arrives with his helicopter. As soon as they land, his co-pilot gets attacked
and killed by the Graboid tentacles. After that, the Graboid emerges from the ground
and eats Pilot. This devastates Burt as they are out of ammunition to blow the cave.
However, Travis points out the helicopter's missiles, giving Burt hope again. They take
the risk and run to the aircraft, distracting the Graboid through the vibration of the animals
running. Burt launches the missiles, destroying the nest when a goo-covered Pilot appears.
It turns out, Pilot tickled the predator's stomach with his bullet, causing it to spit him out.
The seismic monitor beeps again, meaning another Graboid is near; so Pilot flies the air vehicle
away. On the other hand, the group encounter another Ass Blaster, which they quickly kill
with shotgun bullets. They prepare to leave for the village when a Graboid attacks. Fortunately,
the predator cannot make it through the concrete slab. They then throw gas all over a vehicle,
and light it on fire before leaving a rock on the gas pedal. They then get into another car
as the vibrations attract the Graboid. As it does so, Nandi runs with her fireball arrow,
and releases it as the Graboid emerges and eats the vehicle, creating an explosion and killing the
predator. On the other hand, Pilot flies Burt and Travis back to their truck, and helps them repair
the damage before leaving Burt with a rifle. As they drive back to the refuge, Travis
reveals that he is Burt's son, the child of a one-night stand in Florida 40 years earlier.
Burt refuses to believe his smelly bullshit. Seeing his father's reaction,
Travis promises never to talk to him again after killing the predators in Africa. Suddenly,
a Graboid tentacle appears behind Travis, which Burt kills before driving back to the refuge.
while on the way to the village, Nandi discovers why they were attacked. Her
daughter has mysteriously found a Graboid egg, and kept it in her basket. Burt and Travis follow
them to the village. Nandi and Baruti stop at a local shop, where they try to help a native man,
but fail when a Graboid grabs and eats him. They return to the car, only to discover that
the girl had wandered with the egg. Soon, Burt and Travis arrive, finding the village under siege by
the massive Graboid with detachable tentacles, which Burt named Queen Bitch Tentacles. Burt
informs Nandi and Baruti that they have destroyed the predators' nest, and the egg the little girl
has, will save the Graboid bloodline. That's why Queen Bitch Tentacles will not harm her.
Burt points to the motorcycle nearby, so Travis volunteers to be the bait, while
Baruti volunteers to take and save the little girl. Travis rides the motorcycle, distracting
the Queen Bitch Tentacles with the vibration, allowing Baruti to save the girl. Before that,
Travis takes the egg from her and tosses it to Nandi, who suggests something to Burt.
The little girl has an earthworm zapper, and they can use the daily thunderstorm as the zap
to kill the worm, the Queen Bitch Tentacles. Travis distracts the Graboid as the villagers
construct a trap. As the storm erupts, Nandi lures the Queen Bitch Tentacles in with the egg.
With the lightning bolts attracted by the metal trap, the hunters successfully destroy the egg
and the Queen Bitch Tentacles. Everyone cheers in delight, as they can now live freely without
worrying about another predator attack. On the other side, Burt finally accepts Travis as his
son, by inviting him to join in his work and help him build his brand. The film ends with
a credit scene, showing Burt and Travis hunting and killing various monsters worldwide.
