Squirm (1976)

Squirm (1976)

"A new experience in pure fright"


Yeah, ... maybe. I'm back from my business trip in South Carolina. So, in the spirit of things I thought I would cover a seventies southern classic from 1976 - Squirm. Really, how many worms run amok films do we have?


The movie is written and directed by Jeff Lieberman (Just Before Dawn, Satan's Little Helper) and stars Don Scardino, Patricia Pearcy, R.A. Dow and Jean Sullivan.


While it is a bit slow, it delivers (at times) when the worms attach. The images of Roger Grimes being swallowed up by the worms and, later, with the worms crawling into his skin are classic. The house being full of worms is pretty impressive. More of an 'ick' factor than scare factor, this movie deserves a viewing.


So here it is ... Squirm
