    The Attack of the Giant Mutant Ticks
    In Los Angeles, six problematic teenagers are sent to the Wilderness Project, led by the couple Holly Lambert (Rosalind Allen) and her boyfriend Charles Danson (Peter Scolari). They take the van of the project and Charles drives them to spend a few days in the woods. They stumble upon the drug dealers Sir (Barry Lynch) and his hick minion Jerry (Michael Medeiros) that advise that they are in a dangerous area. When the dog Brutus of Darrel 'Panic' Lumley (Alfonso Ribeiro) mysteriously dies, Charles, his daughter Melissa Danson (Virginya Keehne) that is also participating in the project and Tyler Burns (Seth Green) take Brutus to the veterinary Dr. Kates (Judy Jean Berns). Soon they learn that the dog has been attacked by a giant mutant tick transformed by the pesticide used by illegal planters of marijuana, and they return to rescue the rest of the group. But something unexpected happens to all of them.

    "Ticks" is an entertaining horror-adventure movie with the story of the attack of the giant mutant ticks. Although the nasty title, the film is not bad. This film was released on VHS in Brazil by Alpha Distributor and it is funny to see that they have not translated the word "ticks", may because this bug is repulsive. My vote is six.

    Title (Brazil): "Ticks: O Ataque" ("Ticks: The Attack")
