After a limited theatrical run, promoted heavily with an incredible soundtrack, <I>Ick</i> feels like your typical teen horror flick that runs along the lines of <I>The Faculty</i> and any other teen (not just horror) film you can think of. Predictable, a bit funny at times, and full of dark CGI madness, the "ick" is the main character of the film as it grows and eventually takes over a small city, turning people into hosts to spread itself around. There's more to the backstory of its existence, which would've been more interesting than the father-daughter story that was forced, but it's still a film worth getting sticky and stuck with.
