Summary: Mystery Science Theater to the rescue!
Review: This is a very dumb film, i was shocked to find it was Rated R.
The stuff is so corny. I enjoyed this film alot with Mystery Science Theater 3000. This movie does belong to B-movie fans. this looked like a comedy without MST3000! I swear this movie was made somewhere in the 60s... or even 50s. Pass up this film, and enjoy something else.

Summary: A laugh a minute
Review: This is definatly the stupidest movie i've ever seen. If you were to just read the script and not watch the actual movie, you would definatly think it was a comedy. Mystery Science Theatre 3000 did one of their best episodes using this movie. Basically the plot is: there's a bad storm in the southern town of fly creek which knocks power lines down and one of the power lines just lays on the ground and the energy from it gives worms super...uh worm power. Now i'm a autotive engineering student, and i don't claim to know everything about electricity, but i'm fairly sure that the voltage coming out of a power line would be fairly sufficient to fry worms immediatly. Although i havnt experimented with its positive effect on worm's strength and aggresivness, i think i can make an educated guess about that. So the worms gain super powers and start going around and killing people, are you laughing yet? Because of all creatures on this earth, a worm is probably the one i'm least physically afraid of. But nevermind the physics, lets meet the cut-out cast. All are pretty much bad cookie cut characters except our hero, who is probably the most unique character i've seen in a while. He's a pale, dorky, antique dealer; thats the first time i've seen one of those as the hero of the movie. The other characters include a a couple of southern belles (almost too southern), a mentally challanged hillbilly bait shop assistant who becomes infested with worms and becomes pure evil somehow, the necessary unbelieving sheriff, and lets not forget that one guy who ran across the screen with a newspaper on his head during the storm in the opening sceen. the only other interesting character is wille: the worm farm owner. His scenes are no less than magical, as it appears that the actor seems to be heavily drunk in every scene. Its interesting to note that (spoiler) wille is also infected with worms but he dies, and the assistant becomes infected with worms but seems to be supernaturally strengthend by it; the glories of youth i suppose. all in all its an abomination of a movie, full of bad acting, loose ends, implosible scenerios, laughable action, and good old fashion southern culture. Pretty much everything you would expect from a 70s "D" movie (c'mon, B is way too good for this). even though its a horendous example of failure in the movie business, its pretty fun to watch because its just so stupid, i'd highly recomend finding the MST3K episode of it. I just can't understand how anyone thought that it was a good idea to make this. I definatly would not spend any money on it however. the only other use for this movie besides laughter would be a useful tool for film students to learn exactly what it is you're not suppose to do in a film.

Summary: HAHAHAHAHA
Review: This just aired on MST3K & if you are going to see it. See it on MST3K only ! If you don't you will get bored out of your mind. It was cheesy & the worms well they were just worms. The acting was bad too!

Summary: A cult classic
Review: This movie is funny and scarey at the same time. The low budget special effects have been copied over and over since this film was made back in the 70s. No wonder it's considered a cult classic around the world. I loved it.

Summary: Like Worms? Squirm's got'em...
Review: Touching tale of a Northern boy buying antiques down south in rural Georgia. He meets a sweet teen red-head and her neighbors, a mush-mouthed old worm farmer and his mealy-minded teen son. The Northern boy's presence sparks resentment in Fly Creek, where the worms live. Highlights of the film include writhing worms slithering through shower heads and unudulating en masse wherever they can, in bathtubs, living rooms, inside perishable human beings... Everything about this film is repulsive. When the film was made (mid-1970s), Jimmy Carter was still Governor of Georgia.

Summary: SQUIRM
Review: VERY CREEPY AND SCARY AT TIMES. ALTHOUGH THIS MOVIE IS A LITTLE SLOW ITS WORTH IT. JUST THE IDEA ALONE AND A LITTLE IMAGINATION, MAKES SQUIRM A DEFINITE CLASSIC. AN ENTERTAINING FILM IF YOU LIKE FILMS WHERE NATURE STRIKES BACK. B+++

Summary: The worms crawl in, the worms crawl out
Review: Yes, the overall premise is laughably ridiculous. By all accounts, an electric current is enough to cause any worms to turn into soup rather than enrage them into having a taste for human flesh. Yes, there are holes in the plot you could drive a Mack truck through. Yes, the acting exhibited is nothing short of laugh-out-loud funny. And as listed in previous reviews, it takes a good 40 minutes before anything notworthy actually HAPPENS. With all of this, it stands to reason why MST3K lampooned Squirm on one of their episodes.So why the three star rating? Because regardless of all the above detriments, the sight of those millions of little wriggling worms filling up a bathtub, coming out of the waterpipes, and the extreme close up shots of their mandibles is enough to make you (pardon the pun) squirm in your seat. It ain't The Exorcist, that's for sure; but it was a fun, campy little movie. Even without Crow and Tom Servo's wisecracks.
