If The Glass Menagerie had included a nature strikes back angle, then the result would be Squirm! Mick, a Matt Damon lookalike city slicker from New York, visits his girlfriend Geri in the Deep South only to have to battle carnivorous worms that are somehow unleashed by an electrical storm and ongoing electrical disturbances caused by downed power lines. The film is of course preposterous (and those worms sure are slow), but it is nevertheless entertaining as the young people must try to convince a disbelieving Sheriff that the worms have turned and that the townsfolk are now the bait. So, there are skeletons, worms in milkshakes, a character whose face is infested by dendrobaena veneta, and Alma's towering platform shoes in a film that does have lots of worms, but also some cool gore effects (courtesy of a young Rick Baker) and so is pretty good fun film.
