      Audience Member One of the best 1970s B horror movies ever made. The story's premise is pretty good, although the execution at times is comical. Special effects are a must-see, especially the worms boring into the guy's face in the boat. Put your head on low light and enjoy. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Miro V Even though it's pretty cheesy it is still very entertaining b-movie, and also very impressive because almost all the worms in the movie are real, and also the fact about this movie that seems to be overlooked is that this movie is a parody on 50s monster movies. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/07/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member I love everything about this movie! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member 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.

      Felix Vasquez Jr. Cinema Crazed When “Squirm” isn’t silly, it’s boring, and it doesn’t deliver on splatter... Feb 13, 2023 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy Squirm bests those films that feature a cast of thousands, since its cast of real worms numbers in the hundreds of thousands. Rated: 2.5/4 Oct 26, 2021 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins Anticipation builds steadily because the Georgia drawl is so incredibly slow (just like the wrigglers themselves). Rated: 4/10 Aug 31, 2020 Full Review John Beifuss Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) The Fibber-McGee's-worst-nightmare scene in which a closet door is opened to reveal a floor-to-ceiling block of worms that cascades over the unlucky door-opener deserves a place of honor in any gross-out montage. Rated: 3/4 Nov 13, 2014 Full Review Mike McGranaghan Aisle Seat Cheesy as can be. Rated: 1.5/4 Oct 28, 2014 Full Review Jeff Beck Examiner.com Squirm is nothing but a failed attempt at making an amusing creature feature, one that suffers from terrible pacing and just about every other issue a low-budget horror film could possibly have hindering it. Rated: 2/5 Oct 27, 2014 Full Review Read all reviews
