'''Worm vs. Mole''' (Metzettan: 벌레 대 두더지) is a 1968 Metzettan film directed and written by Teoza Jin and starring Triello Carusso, Isanila Serri and Jadu Yeong. The film is set in a fictionalised version of [[Trossera]], [[Aciria]]. Centered around an Acirian-Metzettan excavation that discovers large tunnels of unknown origin and their discovery of the [[Worm of the Deep|source]]. The source has slumbered below [[Trossera]] for millennia, and the excavations into its tunnels woke it from its slumber, beginning to wreak havoc on the Acirian capital. The excavation team then begins investigations into how to stop the worm and save the Acirian capital.

While receiving mainly negative reviews from critics, the movie became instantly popular particularly with [[Aciria|Acirian]] audiences. The film now has a cult-classic reputation in Aciria, with regular re-releases of the original film being well-received. In 2011, critic Vento Negrino has described the Acirian fascination with the film as a "mix of irony and nostalgia", citing that the older generations enjoy the movie for its nostalgic value while the later generations enjoy a level of comedy from the aged film effects. The popularity of the movie lead to the franchise of the same name, prompting regular reboots of the movie since the 1980s alongside various other adaptations of the setting. The first sequel, Worm vs. Mole II was released in 1972.

The first sequel, Worm vs. Mole II was released in 1972. The movie and it’s sequel also has a very large cult following in [[Tierrador]], being the topic of many Tierradorian internet memes and even going as far as to having both movies ranking top-3 in Tierradorian lists of most popular movies from 1989 to 2007. Both movies are shown on May 28th of every year in the [[Taisgol National Theater]].

Since its release, some have said the movie contains Anti-Daxian undertones, claiming the Worm's attack on [[Trossera]] to be symbolic of the threat [[Daxia|Daxian]] pose to [[Metzetta]], a historical ally of [[Aciria]]. The director and writer, Teoza Jin, fervently denied these claims until his death in 2008.
