Ticks (1993)

Description

A group of problem teens from Los Angeles join an inner-city wilderness project in an attempt to get back in touch with life's priorities; led by do-gooders Holly and Charles (Rosalind Allen and Peter Scolari). When they get to the campsite, they begin having problems adjusting to the wild life, particularly with the local marijuana growers using herbal steroids to accelerate plant growth, and the mutated ticks that the leaky steroid system has created. These oversized mutant ticks - with an insatiable lust for human flesh - start terrorizing the campground, eating the campers and everything else in sight. The stellar cast includes, Ami Dolenz, Seth Green, Alfonso Ribeiro, Clint Howard and Rance Howard. Directed by Tony Randel (Hellbound: Hellraiser II).
