    "When In Doubt, Squish!"...
    In TICKS, Tyler Burns (Seth Green) joins a group of other -fairly typical- wayward youths for a wilderness excursion. Their adult "guides", Holly and Charles (Rosalind Allen and Peter Scolari) are goofy and mostly oblivious. Unbeknownst to them, a chemical spill at a nearby marijuana-growing operation has caused the titular arachnids to mutate, and grow to enormous proportions. Bloodsucking terror soon follows.

    As gross-out monster movies go, this one holds its own, mixing serviceable creature effects with gushy gore, resulting in 85 minutes of utterly mindless fun. Toss in a few psychotic, hillbilly cretins and we're off! Nothing can possibly prepare you for the gruesome, gargantuan finale!

    Both Rance and Clint Howard make cameo appearances as the Sheriff and a doomed dope enthusiast respectively...
