Hey what's up guys
Today I'll show you a horror-comedy film: "Tremors 2: Aftershocks"
Spoilers ahead, watch out and take care
In the Petromaya oil field in Chiapas Mexico, we'll see a man struggling,
and holding tight to the large pipes to stay above ground
All of a sudden, something in the soil starts to move towards him
The bearded man seems to be a worker in the field
The man hops on every oil drum in order to reach a van safely
Unfortunately, the creature underground catches up,
and jumbles the oil drums the man just passed by
The man hurriedly hops away; but accidentally, he falls to the ground
Suddenly, a humongous worm-like creature rises up from the soil, and swallows the man alive
Meanwhile in Perfection Valley in Nevada, a man receives visitors in his ostrich ranch
He is introduced as Earl
One of his visitors, named Carlos, informs him about the recent events in the Petromaya oil field,
which is now infested with graboids
Carlos tells him that his workers there have been killed by these large creatures
Earl asks if there's more of them in dismay
Carlos says they need an expert to eliminate the graboids
Earl realizes that they want him to go hunting them down
So Earl declines the offer right away,
even though Carlos tells him that they are willing to pay him a lot of money
Later on, Carlos' driver, Grady,
convinces him using the amount of money Carlos is willing to pay for every graboid kill
But Earl keeps on declining the offer,
because he says that he will never sacrifice his life for any amount
Grady enters Earl's camper van, and continues to convince him again;
and Grady tells him the military's willing to send him explosives to eliminate the graboids
Earl seals the deal with Carlos; and Grady volunteers to be his sidekick in the hunt
The following moment, the two drive on the way to the Petromaya oil field
Upon arrival, Earl finds out that the company's willing to double his pay,
if he manages to catch a graboid alive
Then, Carlos shows the weapons and explosives the army sent them
He also introduces them to an engineer
The two also meet a geologist who seems to catch Earl's attention
The geologist's assistant meets them too afterward
Earl and the geologist converse regarding work inside the refinery
The geologist tells him that there are six people that got killed in the field, and shows him a map
The following day, Earl and Grady drive around in a truck,
while making loud noises with the help of a long chain attached at the back of the vehicle
They use themselves as bait for graboids, because graboids hunt their prey by sound
The team are complacent, because they have a monitoring device in their truck
They start hunting and killing graboids coming after them,
using remote-controlled minicars that are armed with explosives
They press a remote to set off every bomb, after a graboid swallows a minicar
Another day passes by; and Grady almost becomes a graboid lunch
The creature swallows the chain at the back of their truck, and starts to pull them along
Earl hits the brakes; but it's no match to the graboid's strength,
which drags them everywhere on the field
Fortunately, a big rock formation cuts the chain off,
and releases them from the grasp of the creature
The following moment, they unexpectedly encounter a large number of graboids,
leaving them with no choice, but to call for help from Earl's friend, Burt
Earl and a fellow take a break and eat
Surprisingly, the geologist learns that the spikes
in the graboids' bodies can be classified as Precambrian rocks
That means that the graboids are the oldest life form on the planet
But the little chit-chat gets halted,
as they figure out a large graboid is on its way to the refinery they are in
But the graboid turns out to be Burt, whose big truck is loaded with explosives and firearms
The next day, Burt patrols the east, while Earl and Grady patrol the west
A buddy gives them packages of ready-to-eat meals before driving away
Burt kills the graboid that came after Earl and Grady the other day
Grady jokingly tells Burt through a radio call that that graboid was supposed to be their kill then
After a little while, their monitoring device senses a graboid
but to their surprise, the creature is moving away from them
They both find its behavior weird, and decide to follow it instead
To their surprise, that graboid happens to just lure them, and prepare to swallow their truck
Earl accidentally drives backward, causing it to crash,
and spill the weapons and explosives at the back of the truck
Right then, Grady hears horrifying sounds, which seem to be a graboid's groan
They find the non-aggressive creature still there
Earl points a rifle at it; while a fellow places a minicar on land,
and navigates it towards the creature but it just won't attack
Earl concludes that it must be sick, and thinks they captured a live one
Earl calls for help,
and tells the geologist to send the engineer to come pick them up along with the graboid
Night comes; so Earl and Grady hang out at the top of their truck;
but a much louder and horrifying groan surprises them
The two find out that their graboid is already dead,
and ripped open from the inside, as if something ate it or something came out of it
Earl sends the message through the radio; but it's not working anymore
The two alertly stand up, as they hear the same groaning sound from earlier,
and spot the engineer's truck from afar
But all of a sudden, the engineer stops; Earl and Grady waits;
but the engineer is already unresponsive
The two walk towards the engineer's location, and realize that something's wrong
They see the truck destroyed, and discover the engineer's remains
They escape; and we see Burt drive and try to send a message on radio; but no one is picking up
Then Earl and Grady see a destroyed radio broadcasting station
Grady gets mad, because he thinks the company did this in order to make it hard for them
but Earl tells him that the graboids tend to get smarter
They hear the groan, and discover a smaller bipedal graboid, who tries to attack them
but Earl shoots and kills it fast
The two drive away with the car they found nearby,
as more of this weird-looking creature senses them
Meanwhile, Earl gets ambushed by these new creatures in the middle of the night
The following morning, the geologist is still struggling to contact anyone
The creatures arrive back at the oil refinery,
and attack the geologist's assistant from the outside
Earl and Grady rescue the geologist before any of the creatures can attack her
She tells them that it killed the geologist's assistant;
and she cries as Earl tells her that the creatures killed the engineer as well
The three go out only to find a graboid chomping on their car's engine
Earl shoots it, and drags the two back inside
Right after that, Burt returns to the refinery with his nearly demolished truck
Then Burt gives them the cold shoulder upon meeting them,
because no one warned him anything about the new creatures
Earl and Grady tell him everything they encountered, including the radio station's case
Burt expresses his frustration,
and tells them that he even reached the point of doing hand-to-hand combat with a creature,
because he is completely out of ammunition
Earl and Grady still cheer for Burt,
for their pal is still able to kill every creature he encounters
but the geologist voices out that she hopes he didn't kill all of the graboids,
because it is important for scientific studies
To their surprise, Burt is able to capture one graboid;
and he is keeping it at the back of his truck
The following moment, Burt parks the truck inside the garage
Earl and Grady take a closer look at the new creature, and find out that it's actually drooling
The two steps back, as it growls at them
They grab onto the ropes, and tie it around the creature
Then they pull the creature out from the truck
Unfortunately, they have no idea that another one of those creatures is under the truck,
this time even smaller in size
It finds an open-packed meal inside the garage; and the creature feasts on it
Based on the investigation, these new creatures don't seem to hear anything
but they find out that it can sense the heat of a human's body
The now caged creature squeals, as it senses the four remaining humans approach it,
proving their hypothesis from earlier
The creature, which they call "Shriekers," gets hysterical and screams even more,
when it realizes that it can't go near the prey
On the other hand,
the geologist concludes out that the squealing is probably how the shriekers communicate
Earl says that if these attack any heat, it's probably the reason why they attacked machines;
basically biting anything that's warm
Grady throws in a piece of food from his packed lunch;
and they all see that the shrieker eats it up even if it isn't warm
They thought the shrieker didn't like it,
because the shrieker gags repeatedly, as if it was trying to puke
To their surprise, the shrieker spits out a smaller creature
the geologist concludes that the creature is a hermaphrodite,
meaning it can reproduce without having hormone activities
These creatures can reproduce by just consuming enough food,
and replicating at an incredibly fast rate
the geologist asks them if they are confused
Shortly after, Grady notices the smaller one is growing in size rapidly
All of a sudden, one shrieker from the outside almost attacks the geologist through the window
Earl peeks through the broken window,
and finds that these are now feasting on Burt's packed lunches
The four run out of the refinery; and they suggest that they should transfer to the warehouse
but the geologist objects because the warehouse is under construction
Right after that, the shriekers lose track of them
After a while, the four hide behind detached doors as they cross carefully,
because they believe that it is safer to not be seen by the creatures
They walked with doors in pairs, Earl and Grady, then Burt and the geologist
Burt asks where they are going, while Earl asks if there are any more cars that they could use
The geologist says that there is still another vehicle in the storage tank
They were able to cross successfully, but found a shrieker from far away
Burt loads his firearm, and causes an explosive shot that halves the shrieker
The powerful shot is in maximum penetration,
and has caused multiple holes in everything it passed through,
including the car that they all were running after
Now they cannot use the car anymore
Due to the unfortunate circumstance, the four set off on different ways to look for shelter,
until a lone shrieker senses them and squeals
This results in the other shriekers sensing them too
So Earl and the geologist hide inside another storage, while Grady climbs up an oil tower
Burt then hides inside a bulldozer bucket
Grady spots Burt from where he is,
and finds out that he is cornered by three shriekers, whose long,
juicy tongues are trying to grab and massage him from the bucket
Burt pulls out a knife; but Grady tells him to stop moving, so that the shriekers won't find him
On the other hand, Earl and the geologist struggle to avoid the shriekers
the geologist breaks a glass bottle, and cuts off the smelly tongue of a shrieker,
trying to reach inside the place they are hiding from
Earl comes up with a plan, and lets hot water run on a piece of clothing they found,
and adjusts the clothesline until the shriekers sense it
While the creatures are distracted, the two grab this opportunity to escape,
and climb up the same tower Grady is in
Earl asks Grady where Burt is; and they all see Burt still trapped inside the bulldozer bucket
Unfortunately, Burt is cornered by shriekers
Burt rants about the team's unpreparedness, and argues with Earl
They blame Grady, because he is the one who convinced Earl to do the hunt
the geologist tells them to stop arguing, relax for a bit and just wait for help
The following moment, Earl and the geologist go into a deeper and personal talk,
as they spend alone time up the tower
Grady interrupts them, and points out something
He notices that the shriekers are learning to stack up on each other,
in order to reach them in the tower they are on
Burt wakes up, and sees what's happening through his knife's reflection
He grabs the opportunity to get out of the bulldozer basket, and teases the shriekers
Burt uses himself as bait to the creatures; and he locks them inside the garage
Just as when they think the problem is solved, the shriekers find something to eat inside the garage
The four automatically try to recall what food could be in there
the geologist recalls a sweet snack food;
and Burt and Grady read rice flour in the packaging in one of the lunches
Then, Earl sees a fire extinguisher; and he gets an idea
He wraps his head with a jacket;
and he tells the geologist and Burt to spray the fire extinguisher at him
He covers himself in carbon dioxide,
in order for the shriekers to not detect his heat when he barges in
Right after that, Earl enters and carefully approaches Burt's truck there;
While the three people left outside, climb up to watch over him through the windows
To the three's surprise, they are welcomed by the multiplied number of shriekers inside
Earl's carbon dioxide cover starts to melt, and thus a shrieker senses Earl
He picks up a remote from the explosives in Burt's car
Meanwhile, the three people outside prepare a hose to be used as a rope; but it's too short
Earl sets up the bomb, and uses a ceiling light to swing towards the open window;
but it breaks off, causing him to fall down the floor where the shriekers are
He grabs the hose Grady and the geologist are holding from the outside, and finally gets out
He tells everyone to run, since he did set a bomb inside
They escape; and soon, a massive explosion destroys the entire facility
After everything that happened, Earl and the geologist decide to pursue each other,
and continue their hormone-ship;
While Grady brings up his suggestion of opening a monster-themed park,
with the money the company promised them and the reward they'll receive
