demented_one b movies are the fast food of the arts, and they can outsell mickey d's easily. Lots of explosives, meh, or over the top kind of acting and lots of green screen and cgi and we have our own drive in (too bad they don't still exist) The laughs and scares are the same though. For those who are tired of erudite films ad nauseum - have a bowl of popcorn instead. And you don't have to go to a drive thru.

dbborroughs In Afghanistan a group of American soldiers are taken hostage after a failed fire fight. While they await execution their captures engage something outside and are all killed. The American's free themselves and soon find themselves in conflict with huge sand worms with a taste for human Flesh.Tremors retread might have worked had the monsters ever appeared in any of the shots with the actors, but they never do. Every monster shot is a cutaway. Certainly the effects are really good but they are simply never put into the footage with the actors. There is no menace. There simply is actors reacting to nothing.Its a waste.

bkoganbing Now that Iraq has simmered down, the war news such as it is concerns Afghanistan. Something the government is keeping from the American public are those giant worms that are doing more damage to the Allies, the Taliban, and anything else they take a mind to eat. And as big as they are they've got some huge appetites.Jason Gedrick and a small group of Marines are stranded out in the remote Afghan desert. But it ain't the Taliban that's worrying them, it's these giant refugees from Tremors. In fact the big worms prove to be an ally of sorts by doing better against the Taliban than these clearly outclassed troops are. No reflection to the Marine Corps, but battling these enemies is something not covered in their training.It all gets downright silly at times. But if these things are out there I suggest we let them breed and chow down on the Jihadists. Otherwise I'd pass Sand Serpents right on by.

xenomorph44 OK, I barely saw any of this movie, but from what I did see, it was a complete knock off of Tremors! They hunt by sound? No, Graboids do that, not sand serpents. Again, I didn't see this movie completely, only about 10-20 minutes scattered around, but it just lacked the charm that the Tremors movies and TV show have. I love all four Tremors movies and the TV show, and am really hoping Tremors: The Thunder From Down Under comes out. When seeing this I felt betrayed by SciFi (SyFy). They used to show the Tremors movies all the time on SciFi channel. They even had the TV series, until they canceled it after half a season. Only to come out with this six years later! I would have been much happier if they just made Tremors 5 for TV then released it on DVD. Well, at least I have all four movies and taped every episode of the TV series. Oh, that's another thing. They never released the Tremors TV series on DVD. Great job, guys! Just leave behind what the people want and keep making more movies like Sand Serpents! What's next? Probably a sequel, Land Serpents, then Air Serpents, followed by a TV show called Nothing To Do With Serpents, then getting a prequel Baby-turned-Sand Serpents. Plus, what's a giant worm movie without Michael Gross playing Burt Gummer (or a prequel with one of his relatives)?
