Note : A creature feature starring Seth Green as a misfit teen who fights giant killer ticks in the forest? That sounds like utter trash on paper, and yet, it's pretty fun. Practical effects and prosthetics are very good, and pretty gnarly, there's not a lot of gore, but plenty of goop and slime, it's occasionally kind of funny, and Seth Green looks like several kids I knew in the 90s who wore that exact army jacket. Also features Peter Scolari, Rosalind Allen, Ami Dolenz, Clint Howard (and his father Rance), and Alfonso Ribeiro for some reason.

A weed grow op in the wilderness has unexpected side effects when the weirdo drug dealer running it uses steroids to enhance the growth of his plants, which mutates the local ticks, who attack him. In the city, misfit Tyler Burns is going to a wilderness camp to conquer his fear of the woods, along with a motley crew of other kids. They stop at a store where they get harrassed by stock local yokel characters, then get going to their campground, where they discover a tick egg in their cabin, and Tyler destroys it. Later, Tyler and Melissa are attacked by a tick in the woods, but they manage to fend it off, however, the trip guides don't believe them. One of the kids has a dog that's killed by a tick, which leads the local veterinarian to spout some exposition, and then the dog's owner is attacked and, well, burrowed by one. As various people, including the still barely alive drug dealer, descend on the camp, a forest fire breaks out, and the group has to contend with rednecks, ticks, fire, and the adults not understanding them, and try to get the hell out.

This is a pretty decent 4k remaster, nice color and contrast, fine detail, a bit grainy, especially in some parts. Stereo track sounds fine, both commentary tracks are interesting.

Hot tip

Quote:

HeVK torrents always have lots of keywords. Try searching for “hevk body horror” for more burrowing to nest in the warmest place to hide, “hevk comedy horror” for more horror that doesn't take itself too seriously, or “hevk 90s” for more from the decade when Seth Green mysteriously looked pretty much exactly the same as he does now.
