Val and Earl (Kevin Bacon and Fred Ward) are handymen in the tiny, remote, dusty town of Perfection and have decided to head toward civilization. But hideous worm-like creatures start coming up through the sand, and the killing starts. The inept guys must stay and save the day. This humorous takeoff on the 1950s' horror movies is lots of fun. Blood and good special effects abound in what has become a cult classic.
