An assortment of unruly and misfit teens have all been forced to attend camp at a wildlife preserve, to commune with nature. What they don't realize is that nearby in the woods, an illicit marijuana growing operation is underway and the weed farmers have been using a pesticide which has had one very unintended side effect: turning ordinary ticks into giant, ravenous bloodsuckers...
One of the quintessential creature features of the early 90s, Tony Randel's (Hellbound: Hellraiser II, Amityville: It's About Time) TICKS pays loving tribute to 1950s giant monster movies, updating the formula by adding copious amounts of slime and heavily increased bloodshed. Starring Seth Green (Austin Powers), Alfonso Ribeiro (TV's Fresh Prince of Bel Air), Rosalind Allen (TV's Seinfeld) and a very memorable appearance from Clint Howard (Ice Cream Man), Vinegar Syndrome brings TICKS to 4K UHD for the very first time in a never-before-seen extended version, featuring comprehensive interviews and commentaries with the film's key creators including producer Brian Yuzna (Society) and TICKS creator and effects supervisor, Doug Beswick (Aliens, The Terminator).

"This was such a fun watch! Crazy and implausible yet so entertaining. The transfer is flawless, and that amps up the wallop it packs during the ick-out scenes. I’ll be watching this ever Spring as bug & tick season starts up from now on."
"Not sure how this one slipped by me in the 90s, but this movie is a classic. Sorry I missed the deluxe packaging, but to have it in glorious 4K is good enough. Looks fantastic."
"Ticks is a solid splatter fest, animal attacks movie, that I’m happy to finally own on physical media. The transfer on this disc looks amazing. It is a must own for fans of gross out creature features."
"This movie is great. Never saw the whole thing until this purchase. Used to catch bits and pieces on USA network. Good to double feature with Mosquito."
"The audio on this release is outstanding as well as the look this is a great release cool flick"
"Me and the missus watched this last night, and it didn't disappoint. Great gore and makeup effects! Some surprises and a lot of fun - the movie never overstayed its welcome and moved along at a really quick clip."
"One of the best creature features from the 90s. a big surprise with the transfer. Looks incredible"
"Imagine the '50s monster movie tropes reimagined for the '90s streetwise kids and you get this, an effects-laden film where the little critters get contaminated and grow to more than giant size. Clint Howard gets it but the showstopping moment is to see Alfonso Ribeiro, some time before he appeared in one of the most well known sitcoms of the '90s, REALLY get it. I always had a DVD and thought that one was uncut but here VS release a 4K of a longer version (though no extra gore, as far as I can see). Extras are plentiful too."
"The picture was a labor of love by experts who stretched every dollar to elevate the project."
"Ticks was a big surprise for me, what a fun ride this was. The 4k transfer is perfect and the extras are pretty awesome. If you didn't buy it yet, go ahead and do this!!"
