07/07/2021 The first horror movie I ever saw. When it popped up on Tubi I figured it was time for a rewatch. Decent story and characters, some impressive SFX, and a truckload of worms. Also, an excellent shower scene. See more 05/29/2020 Well-crafted entry in the 1970s "animals attack" boom. A quality script, naturalistic performances, and convincing special effects raise this Georgia-filmed chiller far above the throng of lesser efforts common to the era's drive-in circuit. See more 03/15/2020 I love everything about this movie! See more 03/03/2020 It's soo campy and ludicrous, it's hard to find the terror in it. But it's occasionally amusing watching the hillbillies do hillbilly things. Especially when it's antagonizing the city boy for no reason.

Are there any breed that has not attacked us? Penguins? Anteaters? What about worms? Yes! Thus Squirm was born. A missing link between po-faced fare like Night of the Lepus (all sincere, sweaty scientists preaching Thou shall not meddle with nature) and the all-out ironic approach of Piranha (1978) Squirm chugs along nicely, builds up its quirky characters, has wit and flair, and some excellent creepy moments. And I actually like movies that knows it is a bit ridiculous without the director indicating that he feels superior to the material. Jeff Lieberman, in his heyday often labeled as promising as John Carpenter and David Cronenberg, continued in this vein with the cult classic Blue Sunshine and the interesting slasher Just Before Dawn. Then all fell apart when he tried to go camp with Remote Control. The experience was so painful that he sadly quit movie directing until Satan`s Little Helper. Final thoughts: If you go with small animals, make a small movie. Do not make The Swarm. (Ok - they did, and it is great fun.) Make this. Or Slugs. See more Read all reviews
