There is a reason Wormtown keeps coming up in conversation. Wormtown treats its concept seriously enough to follow it all the way through. One year into a plague of flesh-eating, mind-altering worms, the nocturnal town of Ashland, Ohio, has embraced the parasites’ rule. Under cult-like Mayor Joshua, zealous Ranchers spread their gospel—by persuasion or by force. A trio of uninfected women cling to survival through scavenging, extreme hygiene, and evasion. Caitlin McWethy and Rachel Ryu lead a cast that keeps the bigger ideas grounded in something human. It was released in 2025. The world-building is meticulous enough to sustain multiple rewatches, with details early on that only make sense later. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

Sci-fi fans who want ideas alongside the spectacle will find Wormtown genuinely rewarding. It has built its own audience without needing a direct comparison. A contained runtime means every scene is doing real work. Watch for Caitlin McWethy in particular — the performance elevates the material. Satisfying on multiple levels.
