I watched this a couple of years ago but the new site i stream on lists the imdb rating and i was like "OH HELL NO, that aint right", everything user maarck6 said is true....except one thing, i dont think they used a green screen for this, the maggots look like still images super imposed into the movie in editing....they just bounce up and down and if im remembering correctly the sound they make is " HEHEHEHEHEHE" like some fat kid chuckling cuz he found the damn cookies. And honestly there is no way to spoil this movie by stating anything in it.......the story is more or less non existent, i swear i felt my brain cells dying as i slogged through this, and i skimmed it after the 1st 5 minutes or so cuz i was hoping it might get better......it doesnt, not sure if it got worse because there is literally no way to tell the whole thing is that bad, ive seen some bad sfx but this has got to be the worst alongside velocipastor (oh god i wanted to gouge my eyes out because of how stupid that movie was, the addition of ninjas made it even dumber) but between these 2 movies it impossible to tell which is worse, thank god for imdb, i scroll through pages of horror movies and use imdb as a reference to see if its worth watching....though there have been a few that got me to watch a movie i regretted (lamb for example, that was a stupid movie too, but atleast it was well made so that was a plus for it, lol),honestly i hope the actors got a good paycheck, as a movie this bad can prevent any future a list acting opportunities...though in all honestly they prolly chose to slink into obscurity to avoid being associated with the film, haha

so ill say this in closing

PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DO NOT WATCH THIS ATROCITY!!!

MAGGOTS is an example of the kind of trashy nonsense filling up the American indie scene. Directed by Bobby Bragg on the fly and with little enthusiasm, it has a bunch of woodland folk being terrorised by gigantic space maggots with a penchant for human flesh. The attempts at comedic acting really grate while the SFX are quite laughable. The whole thing is long-winded and dull, below the entertainment level of even a sub-par feature from The Asylum.

** The story of the microbudgeted movie "Maggots" starts off with a non-verbal narrative that states that in 1920 Earth fought a war with these scientifically created maggots, and after a vicious war that almost ended mankind, the people of Earth finally won. The surviving maggots were then store housed, and then later shot into space by the C. I. A. (?) to fight otherworldly lifeforms. Huh? We are told that the "false news networks" of ours then rewrote history and hid this vital historical fact from the public. Okay, but I guess that the almost extinction of mankind would seem to be a hard thing to hide, or forget.

** But our space war has backfired on us, and so, hitching a ride on a meteorite, the maggots are back, and they're not fooling around, and they're hungry. Oh yeah, and they're ugly. They initially look like big, segmented, and cackling penii with a headful of teeth. And the more that they eat, the more that they grow, and the more that they grow, the more that they eat, until they are the size of houses. Of course, we never find out what they eat as there aren't enough people to feed the horde of maggots that are running amok.

** Into this mess comes, amongst others, four way over-age jds and their sponsor, who looks like Henry Rollins' little brother, who have turned up for a camping trip, two scientists there to study the meteorite, a waitress, a moonshiner, and a bunch of assorted redshirts. The war of attrition starts immediately as all are there to continuously bite the dust. The story, such as it is, is pure drive-in fare, with the acting ranging from god-awful to fairly professional, with the best actors Catherine B. Johnson and Sarah Stringer, with Stringer being way too old to play a gothic teenager. By-the-way Catherine, I'm still single, give me a call sometime. Anyway, the dubbing looks and sounds terrible, and it's completely out of sync, the special effects are even worse, the green screening is mind-numbingly laughable, and let's not even mention the soundtrack, the visual and sound effects, and the god-awful editing, all of which equals a movie whose technical aspects are such, that Ed Wood would have blushed with embarrassment. But really, what else can you expect from Fred Olan Ray?

**Oh, and forget the review by firstaidflame on this movie. It seems that this person is a pseudonym of director Bob Bragg and his reviews consist of giving all of his movies tens. However, if released in the early seventies this movie would have been passible drive-in fare, but with today's tech there's just no call for this level of laziness. This is a movie only for Ray and micro-budget film fans. I've seen worse, but that's like stating that I've worse cases of dysentery.
