The early bird gets the...oh my goodness!
The Story:
In the desert town of Perfection, something evil lives underground. Worms! Worms with attitude. And apparently they are going to eat anything that moves. It's up to the local townsfolk to save the day...
Or die trying.

I had seen bits and pieces of this film over the years, and finally saw the whole thing from start to finish.
Enjoyed it.
A lot.
It's the perfect B movie. Has an ensemble cast of competent actors who never take the movie too seriously, but seriously enough to lend an air of credibility to the production.
It may very well be Kevin Bacon's finest hour.
Alongside the always stellar Fred Ward, this movie saw the big screen debut of Reba McEntire as the spunky wife of a survivalist, Michael Gross, coming off Family Ties and onto the silver screen.
I have seen none of the sequels, but as most appear to be streaming, it may be time to see if this franchise kept up the level of fun and scare tactics of the first, or like Lake Placid and tons of other franchises, ran themselves quickly into the ground.
Now available for streaming as of this writing on Netflix.
Final Grade: A Solid B for a solid B movie!
Would I Own It: Not sure I would need to purchase this one, but I could definitely watch it again.
