Space Worms, Zombies and A-Bombs… OH MY!!!

Space Worms, Zombies and A-Bombs… OH MY!!!

I'm not entirely sure how I came upon this little low-brow film on IMDb but I did. For about a month now I've been madly intrigued by midnight movies and the title caught my eye. Two weeks later I had a DVD copy of the film in my b-movie-loving hands. I placed into the DVD player and let the good times role. I wasn't sure what I was in store for as I watched it and I'm still quite not sure upon finishing it. It was obviously made by teens but since I do the same thing, I understood their motivations easily. I'd like to call this movie Golden Sh*t, and I mean that with the utmost respect. I loved every minute. From the space worms (a.k.a. kids in sleeping bags) to the zombies (I loved the Nirvana hat) to the clips from cult classic horror films. Above all the cheesiness was great. I thought it was very clever to put space worms and zombies in the same movie. When I heard that there were zombies as well I thought it was probably just a "hey, lets put zombies in here too!" but the space worms inhabiting the bodies of the dead and using them to attack was very, very clever. Some of the acting is flat but I run into that in my films all the time. Some of the editing is flawed but it adds to the cheesy greatness. Overall an 8/10. The camera quality at times was low but at the same time good. I loved this film and would totally recommend it to anyone who loves midnight cinema. The ending is a bang!
