From acclaimed director Joseph Kahn comes his latest film, ICK, a pulpy horror comedy bursting with splattery bedlam starring Brandon Routh, Malina Weissman, and Mena Suvari. For almost two decades, a viscous vine-like growth known colloquially as "The Ick" has benignly crept into every nook and cranny of American life while the residents of small town Eastbrook remain blasé about its existence. The exceptions are former high school football star-turned-hapless science teacher Hank (Routh) and his sardonically perceptive student Grace (Weissman) who are thrown together by Grace's mom Staci's (Suvari) closely-guarded secret and a mutual suspicion that the Ick is about to unleash some monstrous mayhem.

As much as Kahn delights in toggling the line between engaging and overwhelming the eye, Ick is a film rich in themes, even if its ideas are layered in between gobs of goo.

Ick cements Kahn as one of our most iconoclastic entertainers. It’s a movie whose silliness is worth taking seriously.

Variety

In the complacent world of “Ick,” where any reaction can be considered a win, Kahn has unleashed a real monster.

ScreenAnarchy

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.

Rated: 3.5/5

United Press International

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.
