Arrow Video, with domestic sales and distribution
expertise provided by MVD Entertainment Group, has something fun on Nov. 28.  

It is a bit of a surprise as how often does a direct-to-video
sequel get a 4K film restoration from its original camera negative?   Don’t worry if such a thing doesn’t
immediately spring to mind.  That is exactly
what is happening with writer/director S. S. Wilson’s Tremors
2: Aftershocks. 

In 1990, the first Tremors was
launched theatrically in the dead of winter — it’s a summer film; a fun film — and
only did so-so at the box office.   The
sequel got a green light, but when Kevin Bacon was busy with other productions
at the time, Universal shelved the project.

No Tremors 2?   The original budget was revisited and with the
tremendous success of Tremors on home
video, a down-scale production for the direct-to-video marketplace was given a
go … the results were beyond expectations.  

Tremors 2: Aftershocks was
not only a worthy sequel, but a hit in the final year (1996) of the VHS-only
world.  The DVD format would be launched
the following year and both Tremors and Tremors
2: Aftershocks would make their respective DVD
debuts in 1998.

Here we have a 4K Ultra HD/Blu-ray Combo Pack
presentation from Arrow Video, and it comes loaded with extras.   Note, Tremors
2: Aftershocks will
also be available on Nov. 28 as a stand-alone Blu-ray edition.

Bonus goodies include two newly-prepared commentaries.  The first features director/writer S.S.
Wilson, who is joined by co-producer Nancy Roberts, while the second commentary
option is with author Jonathan Melville (“Seeking Perfection: The Unofficial
Guide to Tremors”).

There are also outtakes, an extensive image gallery
and a trio of featurettes — “Graboid Go Boom,” “Critical Need-to-Know
Information” and “The Making of Tremors 2.”
