Staff (Not Credited)

An ecologically sound update of the classic '50s bug movie, efficiently directed by Tony (Hell-bound) Randel and featuring 'the vampires of the insect world'. Read full review

Screen Rant Alison Stalberg

It is a pretty average "day at camp goes horribly wrong" story. It stands a little higher, however, because it deals with an underrated bug that horror films should honestly put to work more. Read full review

Empire William Thomas

For fans of the Big Bug movies in the 60's this will come as a pleasant surprise with not only the first to made in a while but also the first good one for a long time. Ticks is enjoyably fluff which contains unexpectedly convincing effects and enough of the required screaming of innocent victims. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Staff (Not Credited)

Tony Randel, confirming himself as one of the more talented directors on the '90s low-budget horror scene, orchestrates the buggy mayhem with a good deal of skill. Read full review

Pretty gross and pretty average MST3K style b-movie horror. There is a big monster and it kills people. The monster is particularly horrible looking. It is still using ropey special effects like normal. Worth watching for Seth Green but Alfonso Ribeiro is just plain annoying. Story is silly.Pretty gross and pretty average MST3K style b-movie horror. There is a big monster and it kills people. The monster is particularly horrible looking.

Not scary or a classic but still worthy of viewing time for cheesy fun.… Expand
