Kind of FRIDAY THE 13TH-ish with the troubled kids camping trip, and one of Clint Howard's finest moments on film: "I'm INFEEESTED!". Probably one of the last of the pre-CGI low-budget bug movies.

When a hillbilly pot farmer decides to use growth hormones to juice up his crop, he doesn't expect a nest of bulked-up bloodsuckers to be the end result. A group of inner-city troubled teens on a weekend retreat are soon battling these mutated parasitic arachnids in a fight to the gooey death. A last-gasp celebration of practical FX before CGI became king with a fun supporting cast including Ami Dolenz, Seth Green and Clint Howard, TICKS is probably the only chance you'll have to see The Fresh Prince's Carlton gorily explode out a giant bug. Supplements include a new commentary with director Tony Randel and star Clint Howard, moderated by Nathaniel Thompson. I can't wait.
