Written and directed by Jeff Lieberman (Blue Sunshine, Just Before Dawn), 1976's Squirm is one of those "nature strikes back" movies - you know, like Frogs, Slugs, or Food of the Gods, where otherwise harmless animals become cold-blooded killers because of man's propensity for playing God.
In the case of Squirm, it's an avalanche of bloodthirsty killer worms, writhing across the American South in a tidal wave of terror! Set in the rural town of Fly Creek, Georgia, Squirm gets to squirmin' when a powerful storm knocks utility poles over and the resulting surge of electricity drives the worms to the surface.
Millions of carnivorous worms overrun the sleepy fishing village, burrowing into the flesh of Fly Creek's locals - human beings so impossibly dull that they make rubber fishing bait seem not only interesting, but absolutely enthralling. OK, so "enthralling" is probably a stretch, but obviously the stars of a movie called Squirm are the worms, not the wormfood. [...]
