Now I am sure a lot of you out there like to fish. Well would you still want to fish after watching Squirm, which is based on true events? I think not. Let me tell you about Squirm.

The movie was made in 1976. I can remember as a child sneaking with my little cousin to watch this movie when my cousin parents had gone to bed. Squirm starts out tame enough but as it goes on it takes on an evil life that you get sucked into. Did you know you can shock worms with electricity? Well it makes them mad as heck, makes them want to eat you.

Squirm takes place in a small fishing town in Georgia. When power line go down millions of volts of electricity are sent into the ground and this makes the worms mad, sending them into a mad frenzy of eating. I still to this day get sick to my stomach watching certain scenes of this movie.

I dare you to watch Squirm then go fishing with earth worms. This movie will make think twice about Earth Worm Jim.
