Ticks

I know this is a low budget horror film, but I liked it anyway. Not a lot of gore by today's standards, but the make-up and special effects were good. It was also enjoyable to look at Ami Dolenz, and to watch the bad guys get "ticked". Two thumbs up!

I don't really understand the criticism about this film ; maybe if it had a 50 millions $ budget, everybody would find it "cool"? Tony Randel did his best and the movie still boasts good production value despite the numerous troubles they had on the set. This one's mean, politically incorrect (no "back-to-the-nature" crap) and without the shoddy humour and cute one-liners everybody seems obliged to include in his horror just because Freddy said so (c.f. "Nightwatchers"). I saw it three times with friends who enjoyed it as much as I did. And I don't care if some of the actors ended up in some moronic TV fodder for brainwashed teenagers. Not a great movie (unlike Brian Yuzna's "Return of the living dead 3"), but strong, however.

I can't help but love this film! Yeah its cheesy and totally unscary but it's FUN. Seth Green once said that when they were making this movie everyone pretty much gave up trying to make this movie something it wasn't and played it for laughs and I think it worked! Its also worth checking out just to see Carlton from Fresh Prince of Bel Air playing a tough guy lol. I'd totally recommend that people check this movie out if they just wanna have some quality fun.

...and this is a average one with a few real great scenes.The typical "at camp" when things go buggy story line that we are all comfortable with.

Above average humour and effects makes this one worth watching,only the first fifteen miniutes were slow.

A jaw dropping 1990s anti-drug movie, Ticks is infested with genre and period typical cliches. With its ridiculous story and awkward script, the film is clumsy in its approach to serious issues like trauma, racism, and black market crime. However, it excels at gross out horror and intentional camp and improves (in entertainment value) as it blunders toward its over the top finale.
