Eco-horror at its finest

Liebermann's debut may looks ridiculous on paper (a plague of lethal worms?!?) but it's much more interesting and better than you'd suspect. Apart from the outstanding shlock- effects, the best aspect about the film is the genuine location of a typical American small-town. Liebermann chose for a nasty looking Georgia swampland, inhabited by unfriendly people with darn ugly accents. During an immense storm, the electricity lines hit the swampy grounds and cause for the worms turn mental. 'Squirm' starts out a little slow, with only some atmospheric music and neat set-pieces to enjoy during the first hour. But your patience is rewarded with several terrific and convincing shock-effects afterwards. In one of his earliest films as a make-up designer, Rick Baker immediately proves he's a professional artist. The acting is hard to judge since the Georgian accents are so tough to listen to at times. I particularly liked Jean Sullivan in the role of overly worried mother. It looks like she's trying to give a certain depth of oppressed paranoia to her character. Squirm surely isn't a brilliant film but horror fans can't really afford to miss it since it's a creature feature curiosum! Killer worms!!!
