Exclusive Interview: Michael Gross (TREMORS: SHRIEKER ISLAND)
47Tremors 7 aka Tremors: Shrieker Island hit Blu-ray/DVD today with Graboid slayer himself Burt Gummer (played by the always lovable Michael Gross).
Rated PG-13 for creature violence, some gore, and more, it begins when wealthy trophy hunters genetically modify Graboid eggs to create the ultimate hunting experience, it isn’t long before their prey escapes the confines of their small island and begin terrorizing the inhabitants of a nearby island research facility. The head of the research facility and her second-in-command Jimmy locate the one man who is an expert in killing Graboids: the one and only and now reluctant, Burt Gummer. Once on board, Burt leads the group in an all-out war against the larger, faster, and terrifyingly intelligent Graboids and the swiftly multiplying Shriekers!
Directed by Don Michael Paul from a screenplay written by Brian Brightly; the film stars Richard Brake (3 From Hell) Jon Heder (Napoleon Dynamite), Michael Gross, Caroline Langrishe, Jackie Cruz, Cassie Clare, Sahajak Boonthanakit, Matthew Douglas, Randy Kalsi, Bear Williams, David Asavanond, Boonma Lamphon, Aukrawut Rojaunawat, and Mikey Black. Jamie Kennedy (Scream) doesn’t return.
