the HILARIOUS trailer...
once again... a most a peculiar piece of cinematic weirdness! A movie based upon the eating of... you guessed it... WORMS! In birthdaycake, in spaghetti, between ham and cheese sandwich, in a hamburger... worms, WORMS, WOOOOOORMS!!!
the plot is -once again- thin as ice... but -once again- it really doesn't matter, because this film is so utterly over the top stupid, it becomes incredibly funny! a B cinema oddity! I hope to find the DVD soon, because I'm not satisfied with the eMule-download...
the movie itself is actually little more than a bunch of VERY BAD actors (where do they keep finding such untalented idiots), eating industrial amounts of live worms and acting as silly as they can... hillbillie-style!
be aware... If your stomach turns by the idea of eating live worms, do not watch this movie!
Quote :
Schlockmeister Ted V. Mikels (The Corpse Grinders) produced this dreadful gross-out comedy featuring lots of actors consuming live worms onscreen. After the bouncy title rendition of "Nobody likes me/Everybody hates me/Guess I'll go eat worms," the viewer meets Herman Umgar (Herb Robins, who directed and scripted from Nancy Kapner's story), a worm-breeder with a club foot and a German accent. Umgar sneaks a worm-filled cake into a little girl's birthday party, causing the grossed-out guests to run around in sped-up comic style. Umgar's father was killed by his partner, the mayor's father, in 1939, but Umgar actually owns half the town and the mayor is determined to have the worm-breeder committed and take the town for himself. The first worm is eaten in a plate of spaghetti by a woman named Heidi, who turns into a half-worm mutant from the waist down for no apparent reason. Soon, Umgar has several mutants in a wire pen, gobbling like turkeys. The local lake turns red, and then three fishermen show up in Umgar's bedroom, explaining that they are part-worm and "live in peace under the red tide." They came to find mutant worm-women, and Umgar promises to make mates for them while attempting to maintain his land claim. By the time Umgar is force-fed a whole mouthful of worms and the mutants lead an attack on the mayor, the joke has worn off. ~
