[steven36]

The franchise monsters known as the Shriekers are back in Tremors: Shrieker Island, the series’ seventh installment burrowing to DVD & Blu-ray on October 20.

 

 

 

Burt Gummer (Michael Gross) is suffering from PTGD – “post-traumatic Graboid disorder,” jokes Jon Heder‘s character in this exclusive clip from Shrieker Island. Heder has found Gummer isolated on an island and is there in an attempt to convince the Tremors veteran to come out of retirement.

 

In the island-set seventh movie…

 

“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.”

 

An even longer synopsis adds some more details…

 

“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!”

 

Brian Brightly wrote the screenplay with Universal Home Entertainment regular Don Michael Paul returning to direct. He previously got behind the camera for Tremors 5: Bloodlines and 2018’s Tremors: A Cold Day in Hell, as well as several other Universal home video titles.
