If only a quick fix really did work....

Quick Fix is not only a gripping read about an awful epidemic, it highlights how easy it is to exploit people. The ones with low self-esteem, the ones desperately seeking approval and the need to fit in or be perfect. It also shows how easy it is to manipulate and hide in plain sight.

Marley is a classic example of low self-esteem and is a product of social media and the pressure that society puts on people. I like her.......I also want to shake her as she's perfect as she is.

Written before Covid-19 came about, Quick Fix is pretty accurate in the measures that are put in place for outbreaks of infectious disease, it's kind of eerie.

I was hooked from the start, it had me thinking and guessing the end result.

It’s been 30 years since we were introduced to the “Graboids” and Burt Gummer (Gross) and over the years the film has become the life story of Gummer more than a story of the fast-moving monstrous creatures, we even had a family tree movie with The Legend Begins in 2004 as we went back to the late 1800s to Perfection and met Gummer’s relative.

With Tremors: Shrieker Island Burt is now on a lovely looking island and has removed himself from society and technology, but nothing lasts forever and a group of wealthy trophy hunters genetically modify Graboid eggs to create the ultimate hunting experience, but it’s not going to go to plan for them and it’s not long until the Graboids escape their captivity and run amok on the island and the shriekers have developed further than the ones we have seen before in the previous films.
