disgusting, overrated, pointless

Absolutely the worst movie.

If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

Writer / director / star Herb Robins (the creepy carny in Tobe Hoopers' "The Funhouse") concocted this inane cult horror-comedy that may well have been inspired by Jeff Lieberman's "Squirm". Robins plays Herman Umgar, a German hermit residing on highly coveted lakeside property which the uber-sleazy local mayor wants to develop. But Herman will get his revenge. It so happens that he can communicate with worms (!), and when he infects the towns' food supply with toxic worms, people end up turning into half-human, half-worm hybrids!No-budget quirky stuff isn't as much fun as the B movie aficionado might like. It runs an hour and a half, but one can't help but wish that Robins had cut down a lot of the offbeat character detail; it takes this simple flick too long to get going, and the humour pretty much runs its course before long. As a director, Robins seemed to have encouraged his cast to go way over the top, whether or not the scene really calls for it. Still, Robins does know how to push SOME buttons: the most memorable images occur when people are chowing down, and he inserts close-ups of worms in peoples' mouths. Always a good way to gross an audience out. The special effects are hilariously crude.All in all, there's a certain gleeful childishness about the whole thing, certain to make children and more immature adults giggle. The opening credits are accompanied by one of the most insidiously catchy ditties ("You'll End Up Eating Worms") that one is ever likely to hear. Robins doesn't deliver as good a time as these credits would seem to indicate, but it's hard to completely knock B pictures with these kinds of wacky premises. If you enjoy "Squirm" (whether ironically or not), you may be amused to some degree by this ridiculous nonsense.Produced, and distributed, by Ted V. Mikels, himself a somewhat big name when it comes to similar entertainment ("Astro-Zombies", need I say more?).Six out of 10.

It's not a gross out movie... It's not a campy horror yarn.... It's tedious, annoying, pointless garbage with scenes that don't even pertain to the movie (KKK members?), horrible loud acting, a grating soundtrack consisting of the same song over and over again, horrible cinematography and visuals (looks very grimy and unappealing), a stupid plot, very seldom "worm eating", and the worst "special" effects ever. Don't come near this movie.. It's a waste of time, money, and your life.

The worm eaters is so bad of a movie you will feel like you were robbed out of the hour and 20 minutes watching it.it makes plan 9 from outer space look like citizen Kane,well not really but its really bad and not even in a fun way.bad acting and some really nasty scenes of people eating worms.if you want to see a good worm movie watch squirm which came out the same year,thats a gem compared to this nasty movie.Ted V Mikels has made better movies,like astro zombies.the cast is a bunch of unknowns.it surprises me that this was ignored in the DVD 50 of the worst movies ever made,so was mighty gorga which is sightly better than this one.people eat worms and turn into,well you will get the idea.worm eaters is so awful you will ask yourself why.

Ignore those folks on here that say this movie blows. It is so great! I love every minute of it. What great characters! I am serious, there are some great characters. I love Herb Robins' character, he is so unique and he makes the greatest facial expressions. Great lines of dialogue. The husband of the weird fudgies lady is so funny. Everyone does over-act, but it's in a hilarious way. Kill me for saying this, but it's the kind of over-acting that John Waters is famous for - it's just too much! But in a good way. Yes, there's worm eating, but the story itself and the acting is really great. It doesn't even need the worm eating to be a stellar movie! If you like weird movies, you should see this one. I give it a 9/10!
