Some good ideas, but fundamentally flawed.

A strange extraterrestrial matter appears all over the land; people just learn to live with it and take no notice of it until one day it threatens to destroy everyone and everything.This is a pretty tough one to review. On paper, I think it's genius; unfortunately, the actual movie was a little disappointing. I wanted to love it, it's more....tolerable. I'll applaud it for being a little different.It took a bit of time to get going, and after that slightly odd, syrupy beginning, it does get a little bit interesting. It's oddly watchable.The ick was an interesting idea, and I wondered exactly what was going to happen to it and how it would develop, etc., so I'll applaud the curiosity it piqued.Sometimes, it reminded me of The Faculty, but it just lacked any bite. I don't think they went far enough; it was comical, but it really did need a little more horror.At times, it felt like it was taking the mickey out of Gen Z, and there were a couple of jokes thrown in that made me chuckle. I would suggest this is a film better suited to younger viewers, young teens.6/10.

Fell a bit short...

What initially drew me to pick up this movie was the cover. And with it being a movie that I had neither seen before, nor actually ever heard about, of course I had to check out what director Joseph Kahn had to offer.The movie's synopsis sounded interesting enough, but I have to admit that the movie itself sort of fell short of entertaining me. I just found it to make zero sense with the 'Ick' stuff that was spreading around in the town. And the characters in the movie had about as much depth, layers and personalities as wet paint. So it was a bit of a struggle to sit through this movie. So I can't claim that writers Joseph Kahn, Dan Koontz and Samuel Laskey put together a particularly great script that catered to my preference in entertainment.Of the entire cast ensemble in the movie, I was only familiar with Brandon Routh, Mena Suvari and Jeff Fahey. Despite the fact that the movie didn't have much of any noteworthy script, the acting performances were actually fair.The special effects in the movie were adequate, but could only do so much to make up for the shortcoming of an inadequate script.If you enjoy horror movies, then "Ick" is hardly a movie that I would recommend.My rating of director Joseph Kahn's 2024 movie "Ick" lands on a four out of ten stars.

A slimy, snarky, scream-worthy ride that sticks the landing with heart, humor, and heaps of alien guts.

If you're the kind of genre fan who can't get enough of Cooties, Night of the Creeps, or Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer, then Joseph Kahn's ICK is your next late-night obsession. Equal parts slime soaked satire, throwback creature feature, and goofball gorefest, ICK is a B-movie with A-level confidence, a film that knows exactly what it is and owns it every gloriously gooey step of the way.Brandon Routh delivers another enjoyable performances as Hank Wallace, a washed-up high school football star turned reluctant science teacher with a personal grudge against mediocrity, and now, apparently, aliens (I think). When a parasitic lifeform begins infecting his sleepy hometown, he's forced to team up with sharp witted student Grace (Malina Weissman, absolutely owning every line) to save the world or at least their zip code.The script balances absurdity and affection with surprising finesse. While the satire could have easily veered into "try-hard" territory, it never does. Instead, it feels right, organic, self-aware, and just grounded enough to work. Think They Live, but with alien goo and gym class trauma.Let's talk about that goo. The CGI? Well... it's fine. Serviceable. Some of the larger-scale creature shots look like they were rendered on a monster energy drink budget, but honestly, it just adds to the film's low-fi charm. Would practical effects have elevated it? Absolutely. But in fairness, some of the creature sequences are too bonkers to pull off practically without quadrupling the budget. Thankfully, the film leans into its own ridiculousness, never pretending to be more polished than it is.Where ICK really surprises is in its heart. Beneath the eye-rolling puns, exploding heads, and sarcastic monologues, there's a genuine emotional throughline. Hank's journey from burnout to unlikely hero has weight.ICK is exactly what the horror-comedy genre needs more of bold, messy fun with a sharp bite. It's not trying to win awards. It's trying to make you laugh, scream, cheer, and say, "What the hell did I just watch?" and in that, it completely succeeds.
