Ick Reviews
It is, in essence, a 2020s update of classic B-fare such as The Blob, with satirical allusions to Covid-19 dotted around for good measure. Taken on those terms, the low-budget mayhem works rather well.
Ick doesn’t get too deep other than Hank realizing how family can give him a purpose in life; it’s more of an exciting romp with some action/horror mixed in.
Nowhere is Ick more galling than in its smug, equivocating politics. Kahn’s both-sides-are-bad stance reeks of privileged detachment, the kind that reduces actual ideological stakes to Internet cosplay
It’s a better use of your time and nostalgia to see if The All-American Rejects or Good Charlotte are playing your local county or state fair or local resort and casino.
The Ick special effects, both for rooted forms and when it possesses people, are suitably horrific and the action is propulsive.
There’s enough ick in Ick to make it suitably horrific in fun enough ways, and I really do enjoy seeing Routh get time to shine as a lead character.
Ick is just so much fun, a bravely original genre mish-mash that radiates the kind of personality that begs to be canonized as a cult film.
Ick is an incoherent and uneven mess of a horror movie. It doesn't know if it wants to be a family drama and a gross-out comedy, in addition to being about a mass of tentacles that go on a murderous rampage and turn people into zombies.
As a horror-comedy, Ick commits the sin of not being remotely haunting enough to make for a decent horror movie or anywhere near funny enough to be a good comedy.
The problem is that the sociopolitical underpinnings of “Ick” feel relatively shallow and borderline sadistic, leaving viewers with a hollow “Blob” riff with too little to hold onto regarding character, setting, or even horror.
A riotous new horror-comedy that feels like a loving throwback to Mean Girls and the sharp, witty high school movies of the 2000s, using an older millennial as its main character, without feeling the need to act like he is tragically past his prime
While ‘Ick’ has one too many false endings, it’s ultimately a perfect piece of gateway horror for genre fans both new and old.
Ick brings together a spectacular cast and crew to deliver an outstanding, funny, and dark sci-fi horror that is loaded with millennial nostalgia.
Tasty horror-comedy tackles modern times, classic genre tropes.
A purely fun B-movie that's exhilarating, funny and crowd-pleasing
Lovingly mocks aging millennials. ... A madcap thrill ride of a movie; hilarious, heartfelt and at times gleefully gory. There is a lot of gas in the tank left, even if the fear of aging looms as a specter over the film.
There's never a dull moment in Ick, which modernizes a classic premise before sticking it in a time machine and sending it back to 2006.
This is an energy missing from most current Hollywood movies. It's built into the visual evolution of our recording technology so anyone adept at watching footage on screens can follow it, and yet most entertainment just settles for capturing content.
Ick is a fun flick that balances alien/zombie apocalypse zaniness with some clever and entertaining social commentary that pokes fun at the idiocy of everyone. The soundtrack is the star of the show with multiple early 2000's rock needle drops!
Ick is the outrageous, millennial, pop punk, sci-fi monster movie that you never knew you needed. It delivers plenty of laughs and needle drops as it bridges the horror gap between millennials and Gen-Z.
