After the Part 4 prequel, the Tremors franchise visits South Africa, but it is very much business as usual for this low budget but enthusiastic series, with Michael Gross's returning character turning into the Halloweens' Doctor Loomis, increasingly crazed in his pursuit of the monster and here acquiring a new partner in Jamie Kennedy which ensures quips aplenty, most of which work. There is an initial concern that the attacks/deaths will happen off-screen, but after a couple of false starts the creature action steps into gear. The Graboids develop yet another stage in their lifecycle, but at least in this episode the creature effects are realised effectively. For a minor fourth sequel, Bloodlines holds few surprises but it is decently made and has a narrative that hangs together with purpose.
