    Yuzna produced 90’s DTV enlarged tick mayhem movie features excellent disgusting goop, nightmare fuel tick effects, a solid cast of moron fodder, and Clint Howard as an infested weed farmer (some really top notch CH moments in this might I add) with an end result that…

    Watched this last night and forgot to log it!  This was a serious video store staple in the 90’s. Every non-corporate chain video store displayed the poster proudly in their windows, including my beloved Video Review in Greensboro, NC. Great practical effects and a…

    For half my life I’ve lived in heavily wooded areas and when I was younger my mother used to creep me out by telling me I would die if a tick bit me.... horrible, I know… but it worked and I’ve been terrified of them (and insects in general) ever since. While…

    It shouldn’t be a shock I love Ticks. A killer bug movie full of slimy practical effects? From the 90’s? And produced by the king of weird slimy effects himself, Brian Yunza (who blew me away with Society). The only shock here is the fact it took me this long to sit down…

    85 If you follow me, you know I love a creature feature with a one-word title, and on that front alone, Ticks succeeds. But this is a real hidden gem, almost Joe Dante level in devious bug-mashing mayhem. Packed with inventive practical effects and memorable but…

    🪲They’ll make your skin crawl🪲 “Stinking bugs!” When it comes to the insect genre of horror you expect all the slime, all the traces of goo and pure madness from these mutated insects! Ticks delivers on it all and some, it has so much 90s charm and is batshit fun with…

    It was an alright idea but it turned out really dumb. I know it was from the 90s but the quality wasn’t that good. Some of the acting was bad, the bugs were stupid. It was just dumb. Seth Green bad af tho.

For fans of the Big Bug movies in the 60's this will come as a pleasant surprise with not only the first to made in a while but also the first good one for a long time. Ticks is enjoyably fluff which contains unexpectedly convincing effects and enough of the required screaming of innocent victims.
