Did ya know Seth Green(Idle Hands, Austin Powers, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer series), the guy who played Carlton Banks from Fresh Prince of Bel Air(love that show even though I'm white), and the guy who played Charles is the same guy from the 'Honey, I Shrunk the Kids' televison series, are in here? Too bad this movie sucked, though.

Guys, this movie is so badly made, it's the funniest movie I've ever seen!  Did you catch the part, when the girls sweep the ticks near the fireplace in the end, they walk away, and the ticks jump in?  How could Jerry jump that far with a stabbed knee?  (and why was he laughing?)  How did Sir's magnum, (they hold 12 shots max) fire literally about 16 shots?  How did Sir get hit by a van, smashed through a house, and be just fine?  It's a hilarious movie, but you gotta look between the lines! lol

Ever wonder what happened to Tap Dance Kid Alfonso Ribiero?  Nah, me neither but here he is playing second fiddle to a bunch of mutated ticks.  Actually he is in good company, Rance Howard (Ron's brother) is doing movies like this while Ron is out winning Oscars; Ami Dolenz (daughter of ex-Monkee Mickey Dolenz) is a spoiled brat kid whom I kept hoping woould die; and Peter Scolari from the TV show "Newhart" is a camp counselor.
Actually you sort of wish the whole cast would die . . .and with the body count in this movie you won't be disappointed.
Rance is using toxic chemicals to grow bigger, stronger marijuana and the runoff mutates ticks into flesh eating monsters.  Now, if Rance had just stuck to moonshine we wouldn't have had a movie.
Good effects, some real skin crawling moments, but it jumps the track when the ticks become giants.  Up to that point it was okay.  Now all those people should go out and get better agents.

I still don't see a being stabbed in the knee with a switchblade doesn't affect motion, but then again.... That guy was probably too high to feel it.

Been trying to find this movie on DVD so I can utilize the
zoom feature of my player to 'drool over' every gorgeous
inch of ROME's chiseled physique. Hadn't caught him in any
other flicks but he is one 'pleasin' hunk to feast your eyes on. 'RIPPED TO THE MAX' he posesses beautiful plank-
like abs & a classicly carved upper chest. He's a bit shy
in the biceps dept. but I suppose he's taken care of that
by now. He can cuddle up with me in the comforts of my bed-
room anytime.

I know a guy who was in this movie. He played Sir I beleive, one of those two, can't remember exactly, It's been a while since I've seen it. I would give his name, but I don't think he would forgive me. He's mainly embarrased that he was in it, and even more surprised Thst I saw it (I explained that it was three in the morning and I had insomnia). Strangely enough, I don't think he made any movies after this.

;D

I actually enjoyed this movie when I was 12 years old :/ - I just watched it over, and over, and over again - I guess it was coz my mum would never let me watch something like this normally, so I decided to make up for all the "missed-out-on" gore.

I have no-idea if I would still enjoy it, now that I'm 23, but the answer to that would be more than likely YES - simply because I am a sucker for fun childhood memories. :)

You have to remember, that these kinda movies are made not for awards...but for shock value. I will admit, I liked it. Then again I liked the toxic avenger, hell night, evil dead, a lot of the grade B classics and this should be in any horror movie fans collections.

Wow. I need to see this. Apparently also known as "Infested" BTW...
