Tremors: A Cold Day in Hell attempts to take the franchise in a slightly new direction by shifting the setting from the desert to a snowy landscape. The film follows Burt Gummer, who discovers he’s infected with Graboid venom and must find an antidote before time runs out. Meanwhile, scientists at a remote Arctic research station find themselves under siege by the evolving creatures.

While the movie introduces a fresh setting, it ultimately falls into familiar territory. The humor and chemistry between Michael Gross and Jamie Kennedy provide some entertainment, and there are a few exciting action sequences, such as the team’s attempt to “milk” a Graboid for a cure. However, the dialogue and writing have been criticized as subpar, with some lines being unintentionally laughable.

Critics have given Tremors: A Cold Day in Hell mixed to negative reviews. On Rotten Tomatoes, it holds a 40% critic score and a low 28% audience score, signaling that even hardcore Tremors fans were divided on the sequel.

While some fans of the series may enjoy its campy charm and monster action, others may find it a disappointing retread that lacks the energy of earlier installments.

Overall, Tremors: A Cold Day in Hell is a passable but uninspired addition to the franchise. If you’re a longtime fan, it may be worth a watch, but those unfamiliar with the series may find little to enjoy
