Tremors 3: Back to Perfection [DVD] [2001]

The killer Graboids are back in Tremors 3: Back to Perfection, the second sequel to the popular comedy horror series Tremors. Universal presents Tremors 3: Back to Perfection in 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen and has done a very nice job on this straight-to-DVD title. While there certainly are some imperfections in the image (some dark-looking shots and grain), colors are bold overall and black levels even. Audio is presented in Dolby Digital 5.1 and is a lot of fun. Directional effects are generous, with the shrieks of the monsters coming in loud and clear. Also included on this disc are French subtitles and English captions. Disappointingly, Tremors 3: Back to Perfection's only extra features come in the form of a "Spotlight on Location" documentary that is interesting but mainly promotional; theatrical trailers for Tremors, Tremors 2: Aftershocks, and Tremors 3: Back to Perfection; some cast and filmmaker information; and some relatively thin production notes. Although the extra features don't dig very far under the surface to bring up anything substantial, the video and audio portions make up for any lost supplements.
