Executive producer Brian Yuzna (!!!!!!!!) brings us Clint Howard as some freaky beatnik using growth chemicals to make... SUPER WEED! WAHOO! Well, there's a leak in his patchwork system, and the growth hormone spills onto a nest of Ticks, causing them to get REALLY big! Oh, and Clint has a fishing lure in his ear... heh heh. Meanwhile, a group of city kids come to the great outdoors (Not a John Candy or Dan Akroyyd in site) to help 'em get in touch with nature or something. But, nature decides to get in touch with them first, as we find out the TICKS have setup shop at the camp. Well, Clint gets caught in his own bear trap, then knocked unconscious by a giant tick egg, and when he wakes up, his body has "guests". Back at camp, Panic (an inner city kid who's a little OVER "inner-city") finds his dog dead, so they take it to the vet. When the vet does an autopsy, one of the big ticks pops out, they squish it, and are on the verge of pissing themselves when they realize their in deep shit. Panic runs off, then returns after getting attacked, and Clint (after days of suffering) finally loses his "friends", as they latch onto a rich prep girl from the group. While tripped out on tick venom, Panic is attacked by some hicks, and a forest fire starts! The fire drives the ticks toward the cabin as the only shelter. Despite the hicks shooting him, Panic holds on thanx to the help of Steroids pumping through his system, but dies anyway after he tells his friends what the hicks (who they've given refuge from the fire) did to him. The hix take the group hostage, but after getting pumped with tick venom, they go nuts and kill each other. One tick, engorged with Panic's steroid saturated blood, becomes a super tick the size of a fucking Great Dane! NO SCOOBY! DON'T KILL SHAGGY! ARGGH! Well, the kids swing out to their van and Tyler (Seth Green) blows the big tick up with a flaming broom (did I forget to mention that heat causes them to explode?) just before the fire reaches the propane tank and blows the cabin all to Hell. Oh and surprise, surprise, there's one more mutated tick egg on the van... Sequel? Somehow I don't see there being enough financial backing for a sequel. Now, a movie based on the TICK (the big glue guy), now THAT would be something! SPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!!!!

Sequels: Nope
