A one-and-done SOV by George Keller, this one lives up to the promise of its title: worms from space come to Earth and, well, devour folks. No more, no less. 

Or maybe more. This is a noir movie masquerading as SOV, a film where, instead of a black-and-white, rainy, smoky night, we’re seeing downtown LA in VHS-scanline, bright-sun quality, as synth tunes bleat over us. There is something deeply unsettling about seeing cosmic horror occur in a mundane, over-exposed apartment lit only by a sliding glass door. It feels less like a movie and more like a crime scene video captured by a neighbor who happened to have a Panasonic Camcorder. For example, a camcorder saving for posterity mountains of coke getting devoured by space grossness and interstellar maggots that can eat your flesh down to the bone in just moments. 

Michael Sonye, who is also Dukey Flyswatter, was in tons of aberrant cinema. The Death Bed: The Bed That Eats remake, Roller Blade Warriors: Taken by Force, The Phantom Empire…the guy was the Imp’s voice in Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama! He also played Irving Klaw in Bettie Page: Dark Angel and was the Clitmaster in both Tales from the Clit movies. But wait — there’s more. He wrote Frozen Scream, Star Slammer, Commando Squad, Blood Diner, Cold Steel and Out on Bail. And he did the music for The Dead Hate the Living!, Cyclone and Nightmare Sisters and was in the Los Angeles glam-punk scene with his band, Haunted Garage.

There’s an actress named Tequilla Mockingbird. I really don’t know how much more this movie could give us.
