All in all, this comedic creature feature delivers superb subterranean terror and burrows through
absurd yet fertile earth, as it takes the silly premise and turns it into a genre hit despite its hilarious nature. In this humorous battle of rednecks vs. mutated worms, the viewer gets his money's worth, as the film is a fun ride from start to finish that knows to satisfy him with everything in its power. From innovative, monstrous, antagonistic invertebrates that are as smart as they are smelly, over an unexpectedly clever plot that consists of innumerable ideas that keep the audience from becoming bored, a more or less likable bunch of main characters to effectively used, slimy and suspenseful visual effects, the film has everything it needs to be a highly entertaining genre flick. Even if it isn't the showpiece example of fine acting, the story is still built up well, the dialogue is surprisingly defined by extreme wit, and most importantly, it doesn't take itself too seriously. Without a doubt, this desert version of "Jaws" is a highly delighting, astonishingly atmospheric horror gem from the early nineties that is a must see for every fan of the genre.
