Description: I grew up watching Squirm. Must’ve seen it at least a hundred times and I never get tired of it. Jeff Lieberman has only a relative few films to his credit but with Squirm, Blue Sunshine and Just Before Dawn, he has made quite a name for himself in the horror genre. He’s one of my favorite directors, one whom I’ve had the pleasure of meeting and he impressed me as being a really nice guy. Lieberman also gives a great commentary on his films and Squirm is no exception. Informative, insightful and often hilarious, it’s everything a good commentary should be.
After a strong storm in one of the southern rainy nights a small provincial town Fly Creek lost due to damage to the high voltage electricity lines. Cable lines, continued to supply power, not only in the homes of peaceful villagers and went straight into the soil infested with earthworms. From such a serious “shock” of worms harmless creatures turned into dangerous monsters, hungry for human blood, which soon, and spilled …
Review: God knows what, and not a movie. Under “Category” melodrama had to withdraw in the first place, but the horrors – at the end, and with the prefix “type.” Mr. Lieberman has decided not to look at our colleagues, who at the time regularly spud genre “of evil animals and insects” and the like to the beat of a metronome produced films of varying quality. Mr. Lieberman priplesti decided to film the drama and, O Lord, Detective. Would be better without Jeff walked the same path as our colleagues.
In the town of Fly Creek (ie, Flying creek) lightning strikes the dummy line eletroperedach. She falls, and all the current goes into the bowels of the earth, from which local worms vshtorilo robust design. This means that …
Fly Creek … to come ginger nerd! Calm down, then the next 40 minutes no worms you will not see. On the strength of a couple of times, and while they are funny squeak. The next screen time will be devoted to truly Doylevskoy Conan stories about how nerdy and his girlfriend (an unusually dull, I would have a bag of carrots and have lain) find the skull and like a chicken with egg then this part of the skeleton are worn, figuring it seems , whose is it (well, at least human).
Then a nondescript girl will be glued local batrachok – the brain with a cam appearance reminiscent of a degraded state until poluobezyanego Campbell Bros. Demonstrating mastery of a pickup truck farm laborer is calling the girl with a fishing where something happens like the first murder (“something like” because this “under-Bruce” do not die at once and, showing a truly valiant endurance, will breathe until the the end of the film). lake This attack is also nothing like the first and last sign of the presence in the film make-up artist, make-up artist and decent, at least in the face vpiyavivshiesya worms looked good and even under the skin move.
Well, then begins under-thrash category is not even B, and C, or D. The worms will all scare, and these worms will show rare. Basically – something that looked like a huge pile of colored spaghetti (it that it seemed that a lot of worms.) However, even these pleasures semidesyatnicheskogo uzhastikostroeniya will not last long, as the rising of the sun creeping things disappear. Next on the list – the final credits, accompanied by good music and painful attempts to understand why this had to watch.
The flick Squirm does not contain: scary moments (times), sane storyline (two), good actors (three), attractive characters (four). The latter – generally a separate issue. You know, every self-respecting horror film should be at least one skater girl. It does not matter whether it will survive or go to flow through the five minutes after the start – the main thing that managed to show boobs. Here – the kind of cabinet of curiosities. The local sheriff is sleeping with a bartender, a terrible CONTEMPORARY “Jumble” about girlfriend glavgeroya I said, and yet there is a village girl. My God, what is it terrible. Not a breast, no face, no ass … Heck even the rotting woman in a bath of “The Shining” by her beauty would give a hundred points! Well guys here – nerdy, farm laborer and the sheriff. Dumb. The rest – one old people.
If you suddenly want to see the picture- start in the middle, and for God’s sake – do not pay attention to the faces of characters. But it is better not to look. In this field removed a lot of far more interesting and intelligent films, including “Squirm” just like a worm. A terrible, slow and pathetic.
3 of 10 (and then for worms and music on the end credits).
