Squirm is about worms. Not just any worms, though. Freaky Georgia worms with tons of legs and, yes, fangs. They bite, but normally they're ok. You can even use them to fish with. However, if they come in contact with electricity they go crazy, and there's so many of them in the ground that once they come up the humans don't have a chance.
Squirm, although a major studio release (Universal), has the feel of an indie grindhouse/exploitation film. You also get the sense that the actors in this film are real country people. These yokels don't come from Los Angeles. If they're not GA natives they're from somewhere in the deep south. Of course, the city slicker is the protagonist, but that doesn't stop the locals from treating him like dirt (ironically, the thing worms live in).
This film is fun and will at times make your skin crawl. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Here's the trailer:
