Squirm

Killer worms. Not giant killer worms, mind you, just plain old killer worms. As my track record shows, I have a bizarre fondness for retarded creature features, but even I draw the line at a creature that you actually have to lie down in a pile of for it to be a threat.

Terrible film filled with terrible acting and effects but strangely it's watchable. It's not scary and it not a good example of "nature takes revenge" films but at least it's not boring. Not much more to say about this.

This pasty, wormy Southern family takes in a skinny Elton John just in time for the real worms to show up. The director makes things even worse with his hammy touches, but it does have a couple standout goofy characters: the mom, who was teleported from some T Williams play, and Roger, the only one with a tan, who looks like he should be saying: "Tell me about the rabbits, George." One of the better MSTs ("You'll need a conical hat with eyeholes" "Mom's knittin' William Faulkner a sweater").

Yeesh, peak awkward.

Those. Damn. Accents. The gratutious nudity (more of an uncomfortable nipslip) is so gratutious it creates large continuity problem. And worms that SCREAM. Oh and worms that are in fact mounds of malicious spaghetti noodles. I've now saved you the trouble of watching the film. Maybe i should have SPOILER tagged this.

Ah yes worms, the menacing threat you can just stomp on. You know, I never really found worms to be all that disgusting until watching this movie. Then again everything else about this movie is disgusting, so whatever.

Worms aren't scary, or funny.

This is bad, but you should see it just for the giant bloodworms in the closet scene. It looks like spaghetti!

Probably only really works for scoleciphobes or maybe helminthophobes. On the other hand, maybe it is best if they avoid it, which means that the same advice can be given to just about everybody.

Needed more gore and worm violence. Otherwise it has this odd goofy charm that works.

Decent B horror with some good shock effects.

Absolutely terrible, people with god awful accents, a man who looks like a Neanderthal/monkey, terrible characters and not many worms. MST3K's not bad

You just can't be scared by these worms. I, obviously, never want to be covered by flesh eating worms; but it just doesn't look scary. And if your horror movie doesn't look scary you messed up.

The first movie to be constructed entirely out of cliches.

YOU gonna be the worm-face!

Mst3k score: 7/10

It's quite impressive what director Lieberman manages to do with this concept. Obviously done on a small budget but it doesn't really matter until near the end when he brings on the effects which are at times ridiculous and disgusting. There's an unique southern feel to the film and I can see why it has developed some kind of cult following.
