The movie as a whole was generally doing okay for the majority of it. I haven't seen a Tremors movie since 4, maybe 5 so I feel like I'm missing a little bit of history when there is a love interest that I genuinely am not sure if she's been in a movie before or if they made up this love interest just for character in this movie. They also keep mentioning a son who I can see on a previous cast list but they also have a young guy always hanging around Burt. I guess the original script was meant to be Burt and his long lost son, hence the love interest but when they couldn't get the son they just made it this random guy instead since he has all the emotional scenes and 1 on 1 scenes with Burt then.
The effects are solid enough for this being the 7th movie in the franchise. The acting is campy and over the top enough with good performances in particular from Gross and Brake.
The biggest problem it has is the third act. Where 3 Shriekers were shown to be a threat earlier in the movie to a group of 10-15 gun wielding hunters, suddenly Burt and his "son" can casually take on what seems like 20 of them with a chainsaw and some machetes. They go from facing 4 Grebloids to facing 1 in basically one move shortly before that. It feels like the second they got to the third act they needed to get rid of all but 1 of the enemy as fast as possible to make it a dramatic 1 on 1 to end the movie.
The Grebloids aren't much of a threat throughout the majority of the movie. Even when a character is told there is a Grebloid directly beneath them in the final act, other characters can just casually walk over to them to talk away without issue. The character can then just walk off. In previous movies Grebloids were a real threat, if one was near you had to get to high or solid ground. In this movie you don't seem to need to worry about them unless you're a bad guy then they'll attack you even if you don't move or make a sound despite the good guys moving and talking.
