Ticks, This is the small series B of killer animals with a good vibe heighties (although released in the mid-1990s...). It is also and above all a fat-free film, which navigates between the horrific comedy and the gore well crado, which shows up freshly on Shadowz Hey! So don't forget your lemonberry spray and take with you some blood stripes O negative. You never know, it can be useful...
Steroidic matter
A group of urban children are taken by a couple of social workers outside the city. The purpose of this wilderness? Reconnect with nature and others. Nothing could go wrong, or almost... They have a bad chance to camp next to a weed plantation, where a redneck boosts its "marihuana" with a strange steroid mix... A small leak, and now ticks the size of a football invade the surrounding woods. Their thirst for blood will turn their teens' stay into real hell.
In its opening, a long plan follows a machine worthy of the craziest creation of Jean Tinguely. From these images a taste of the bis version eighties that will irrigate the entire feature film. Granular image promises a cinema that one knows, the cabin lost in the woods, the threatening redneck, all this replays these tropes of horror that one knows only too well. But Ticks Will he manage to keep his promises of small series B set in the very particular genre of movies of killer animals, passing after classics like The Teeth of the Sea, Razorback or Arachnophobia ?
Answer: Hand out! If one passes on his characters – all ultra-archetypal – this series B born a decade too late offers us a horrific spectacle without any ounce of fat, running along its hour twenty-eight duration in an absolutely enjoyable crescendo. Teen-comedy amusing with his serious jokes, Ticks Go in the direction of a salty and surprising gore. I mean, not so surprising when we look at the constellation of names serving this little feature film...
Horror Galaxy
Indeed, Ticks is made by no person other than Tony Randel, which is not a round of horror of those years: it is the real Hellraiser II, an inveterate assembler (he is still working very recently on the assembly of (bad) IO for Netflix) and is part of the visual effects team of New York 1997 Carpenter. There's worse like C.V.... But the guy will know how to surround himself, because the producer of the film is none other than Brian Yuzna (Dad of the genius Society) while the person responsible for special effects is Doug Beswick (Gremlins, Star Wars, Terminator, Aliens...). A last reference that finds resonances in Ticks, as the body-builded blood suckers approach facehuggers of the saga visually Alien, who would have dragged a little too much with the filthy buggers of Half-Life... A whole program!
Anyway, you'll understand, Ticks He keeps all his promises. A horrific entertainment as we like them, a well worshipped gore and a duration that we do not see passing... A B series ideal for a bloody Christmas, to find on Shadowz !
