Product Description

Product Description

THIS WAS THE NIGHT OF THE CRAWLING TERROR!

One of the most original and entertaining of the revenge-of-nature films that characterised mid-1970s American horror, Squirm begins with a pylon being downed by a thunderstorm, sending millions of volts into the wet, conductive mud, which naturally gives hundreds of thousands of its wriggly inhabitants an insatiable hunger for human flesh.

And since the accident has also inconveniently cut off the electricity to Fly Creek, Georgia, its population could hardly be more vulnerable when the sun goes down. Houses can be barricaded against most intruders, but what happens when they're small enough to get into the water supply?

Writer-director Jeff Lieberman (who also made the cult classics Blue Sunshine and Just Before Dawn) achieves a near-perfect blend of knowing wit and good old-fashioned scares, with make-up genius Rick Baker (An American Werewolf in London) on hand for some of the memorably disgusting special effects.

    A huge storm hits Fly Creek in Georgia and fells electricity lines which in turn supercharge bloodworms into carniverous killers! Visiting boy from the city, with the help of his local girlfriend, tries to convince small-town sheriff that there really is something rather strange going on. Will anyone listen?
    This film makes good use of a unknown cast and atmospheric swampland. For me it built the tension quite slowly but effectively, reaching a climax involving an awful lot of worms. The special make-up effects are excellent for the period.
    Picture and sound quality are very good indeed for such a low-budget offering.
    Dvd features include a director's commentary which also features writer Jeff Lieberman, original theatrical trailer and tv spots.
    Thoroughly recommended to fans of 70's horror and nature gone mad films. Obviously if you are not to keen on worms give it a miss.

    At the beginning of the film, we learn from one of the characters that earthworms can be called to the surface with electricity, but somehow it turns them into vicious flesh-eaters.

    Sure enough, a storm that night causes some power lines to break and touch the ground.

    Millions of man-eating worms emerge out of the earth, and into town where they quickly start munching on the locals....

    The one thing to note about this movie, is that it features the geekiest hero ever to appear in a movie, and for the first half of the film, he goes on about egg creams.

    if you can get past this guy, the film isn't that bad, but it's cheaply made and looks decidedly dodgy in the final third.

    But one thing it isn't is boring, and this is where the film stands above other monster/killer animal movies of the late seventies.

    And some of the effects are quite good too. Obviously in some scenes you can tell it's just some stringy goo, but the character of Roger, who goes psycho for no reason, is really grotesque toward the end.

    Performances are average to say the best, and the ending will make you laugh, as it's absurd beyond the point of explanation.

    But if you are into these sort of films, you could do a lot worse.

    This is one of the biggest surprises(or a SU-price as is said in the movie) I have seen all year. As the cover says its got lots of worms and if you've still got nightmares about the time your big brother made you eat worms this is NOT the movie for you. Imagine closeups of the worms screaming and you've got the picture. I fancy myself a man who can take the worst but after seeing this I have not looked at pasta in the same way. Apart from the worms you get some early, good(albeit too little) fx from master Rick Baker. And if you're a little disapointed after watching it, you should see the audio commentary by the director. Apparently it could have been an epic with Kim Basinger, Martin Sheen and Sylvester Stallone!

    What you get, for those in a hurry:

    - Standard blu-ray case (clear, not blue) with reversible sleeve - new artwork (which, while not exactly ugly, is weird) on one side, the classic US theatrical art on the other...that side also does not feature a BBFC certificate on the spine or the front, thankfully)
    - Lavish 34 page booklet, featuring new writing on the film by Lee Gambin, author of the definitive "nature runs amok!" book, Massacred by Mother Nature: Exploring the Natural Horror Film, and a lengthy interview with director Jeff Lieberman conducted by Calum Waddell, interspersed with lots of pictures from the film (stills of these were leaked as screenshots of the disc, disappointingly!). Not as good of a booklet as the Deranged [Blu-ray] one, but very good.
    - Blu-ray disc and Standard DVD, with complimentary artwork. I assume the following contents are on both, high definition not withstanding, but the DVD is worthless to me so I didn't check.
    - High definition (1080p) presentation of SQUIRM, from the same uncut master as the MGM DVD released in the US in 2007 (a region 1 disc). Video is detailed and attractive hi-def, with strong vivid colours and the audio is two-channel mono, presented as a lossless PCM track (English subtitled included).
    - Humourous and warm audio commentary by director Jeff Lieberman (this is the same one on the MGM DVD released in the US).
    - Video Q and A with director Lieberman and star Don Scardino from New York's Anthology Film Archives, recorded in 2011 or 2012.

    After a quarter of an hour you may find yourself screaming at the TV for something to happen, and you could be fooled into thinking that a rural drama had been wiped over a horror movie. The trick with a horror movie that doesn't want to reveal its 'monster' until the second half of the film is to keep us entertained with dialogue and interesting characters and Squirm firmly fails to do this.

    The setting, the characters it's all pretty dire especially when the most interesting character is a small town sheriff who probably is a member of the KKK in his spare time. The two lead characters are pretty shocking but i'll give the vote to Don Scardino perhaps and really no offense intended the most boring lead character to come out of a 70s horror movie. It's no wonder that he went on to become a director. Speaking of directors this one is overseen by Jeff Lieberman who actually if he were making a drama has directed well, but he is to blame for this mess given that he also wrote the movie. Squirm is filled with dialogue that goes nowhere and static scenes, when the worms do finally make their appearance you'll be well fed up by then. Roger the backswood hick probably gets the best death as the worms find there way under his skin, but its all a little hokum dokum after that, with a seriously anti climax finale too boot. Squirm should have been up there with some of the really well done strange horrors of its time such as THE CAR, PIRANHA etc etc, instead this is in truth a movie to be forgotten about.
