Kino Lorber's 1080p Blu-ray of Squirm delivers solid visual quality with strong detail and color reproduction, maintaining an attractive, organic appearance despite minor speckling and occasional lack of depth; a 4K master would further enhance grain exposure and saturation.

Audio: 76

The Blu-ray of 'Squirm' features an English DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0 track that, despite its restored and healthy state, reveals the limitations of its original Mono track, offering a subdued sound design with minimal dynamic contrasts. The mix effectively uses mood music and 'squishy' effects to build tension.

Extra: 71

Kino Cult's Blu-ray for 'Squirm' revitalizes old Scream Factory extras with an engaging new commentary by Lee Gambin and John Harrison, while retaining director Jeff Lieberman’s insights and enriching the package with additional trailers, enhancing the collector's experience.

Movie: 51

Squirm's Blu-ray release by Kino Lorber offers a feast of humor within its low-budget, flawed horror setup. Cinematic aficionados should appreciate the engaging commentary tracks and supplementary features. While the acting and special effects may fall short, the creature feature's sheer audacity and the electrifying final act deliver distinct charm.
