Thenew Tremors flickis officially titledTremors: A Cold Day in Hell. The title refers to the setting in the Canadian tundra. As for the PG-13 rating? That shouldn’t come as a big surprise, as every movie in the franchise to date has been given the same rating.Tremors 6has earned the rating for, “creature violence, gore, crude humor, and language.” That sounds like aTremorsmovie alright.
InTremors: A Cold Day in Hell,Burt Gummer and his son Travis Welkerfind themselves up to their ears in Graboids and Ass-Blasters when they head to Canada to investigate a series of deadly giant-worm attacks. This marks the first time in the history of the franchise for a snowy setting. Once the pair arrives at a remote research facility in the arctic tundra, Burt, who’s been through this plenty of times, begins to suspect thatGraboidsare secretly being weaponized, another first for the franchise. However, he is sidelined by Graboid venom before he manages to prove his theory. With just 48 hours to live, the only hope is to create an antidote from fresh Graboid venom. In order to do so, someone will have to figure out how to “milk” a Graboid.
