(Taken from my review on mst3kreview.com)

What a wonderful movie! A triumph of the human spirit! What a fantastic, joyous affirmation of life! (Or is it just a really, really crappy movie?) This delightful, three star (according to Leonard Maltin, what a dope!) rip off of Alfred Hitchcock’s The Birds, tells to story, of the muffin-headed, antique obsessed, and unusually pale Nick, his ever more pale, skinny and annoying girlfriend Gerri, and of course the loveable man who grew up on non stop viewings of Deliverance, Roger.

It’s the typical love triangle. Nick wants Gerri because, her being a skeleton, would go great with his antique collection, and Roger wants Gerri, so he can give her a !SU!prise. A, as spoken by Gerri, "dilly" of a storm, with "more thunderin’ and lite-nin’ you ever sawed in yer life", knocks out all the electricity in the dangerously southern town of Fly Creek (to most southern of all southern towns). Of course, I expected killer flies, but the movie disappoints me with worms, which have become millipedes thanks to the storm, and with the helpful, and delightful, cameo by Gamera (hardy, har, har), who knocks over a telephone pole, which turns the worms into evil, blood sucking monsters (actually, they're turned into millipedes, who are the idiots that made this movie!?).

Nick arrives at Fly Creek, all the way from the north(ern aggression), and meets up with Gerri, the only walking, breathing, talking skeleton on earth besides himself. Roger, who runs a worm farm with his even more southern father, lets them borrow his truck, but he says to be careful, after all, there is three bucks of worms on board. But the worms escape, and of course, Roger gets the blame. We are also introduced to Sheriff Pink, who is perhaps even more southern than Crenshaw of Boggy Creek 2, the pig molester in The Deliverence and Roger put together, who doesn’t like "bull" in Fly Creek, and inherently hates people from the north.

So, after Roger is hurt mentally and physically by his inbred dad, Gerri and Nick decide to invite him to go fishing (oh, here’s a good idea, let’s invite a psychopath into the deep woods, where he can kill us, molest us, and then eat us, and nobody would ever know). After Roger tells a "chilling" tale of the worms (which is chilling because of how scary his accent is), Nick leaves Gerri alone with him, oblivious that he’s leaving his girlfriend with an escaped convict, who’s idol in Freddy Krueger. Roger then tries to give Gerri her !SU!prise (aka surprise) which is a much more polite way of saying “I’m going to rape you”, but the worms trip him just in time, and he becomes the "worm face" (and even though Roger claims that Nick is the worm face, I think we can all agree that Roger is the WORM FACE).

Bad things happen, as plastic worms and millipedes overrun the city. People die, but we don’t care about them anyway. The movie ends with the fact that Gerri’s sister survived the worm attack, which is supposed to be heart warming, but disappoints me. I may have given it three stars as well as Leonard Maltin, but I didn’t get to see the big sister’s guts eaten, thus, I give it negative four stars. Why did the worms attack? The answer is never clear. One thing that is clear is that I liked this film much more when it was called The Birds.

This movie is strangely enjoyable - BUT I'm NOT going to recommend it! It's a horrible movie. But it's one of those movies that's so bad it's good! You'll laugh your way through just how incredibly absurd this stupid movie is! So I'm going to not recommend it, cause when you get down to it, this movie sucks, however, if you're like me, and I know I am, and if you want cheesy horror at it's worst, pick this piece of filth up, you deserve it.
