Trivia:
Composer Robert Folk was brought in at the very last minute to re-score the film. This was due to the original score composed by credited composer Ernest Troost was lacking the punch that it needed for the film musically. Approximately thirty minutes or more was written by Folk and strangely goes uncredited in the film's credits. more
Goofs:
Continuity: When Earl and Val plan to reach the bulldozer in order to proceed to Bixbie along with all survivors, they talk about the bulldozer being too heavy for the graboids to lift it. Yet, some minutes later, one of the graboids is able to lift a house, thus making it quake. A house is unlikely to weigh less than a bulldozer. more

Worms! Worms! Underground drag racing worms!, 21 February 2005
8/10
Author: FairBear from United States

Loved the movie. How could you not? It has two lovably bumbling buddies, Val and Earl, played to perfection by Kevin Bacon and Fred Ward. It has a remarkably funny gun crazed survivalist couple played completely straight-faced by Michael Gross and Reba McEntire. It has a wonderfully batty bunch of "townsfolk," a winsome heroine and bad lot of underground drag racing worms looking to eat the characters mentioned above. The movie stands out from the "trapped and pursued" genre because it contains tongue-in-cheek humor, comedic escapes, inspired foreshadowing of doom and nutty monster mayhem. This is a delightful B monster movie that would best be watched with fellow funny movie buffs, popcorn and beer.
