This is usually the sort of film i steer clear of as I don't like films about mutated creatures but even though I watched this film through my fingers I loved it. A group of city kids go camping and come face to face with ticks mutated by chemicals and have to escape as anyone would. It wasn't so much the ticks that scared me ,as they basically looked like crabs painted red, but what really freaked me out was the clicking noise as they moved. This was an early Seth Green movie but he was definitely the star of this movie. Clint Howard has only a very small part but he is very good. I don't understand why people think this movie stinks.The special effects were cheap and the ending was weak but it is better than certain big budget features that i have seen.8 legged freaks being the one that readily springs to mind. If you are hung up on poor special effects then steer clear of films like this but if like me you don't care then feel free to give this film a go and you might be pleasantly surprised. In conclusion,even though i found this film vile,disgusting and stomach churning I absolutely loved it 8/10
