SQUIRM (MGM)

In the summer of 1976, American International released this gooey and repulsive movie that really caught my attention. Don Scardino stars as a young man who visits a small town in Georgia to see his girlfriend and gets caught up in a terror filled night after a storm knocks down power lines and the electricity from the lines causes all the worms to go crazy and become blood drinking and flesh eating monsters. Director Jeff Lieberman was also responsible for the remarkable film entitled Blue Sunshine, and he doesn't fail to produce the shocks here as well.
There are several scenes with millions of huge worms slithering around and Rick Baker is credited for these gruesome effects. A good film with plenty of shocks and thrills. Recommended!!
