Looking for a wild mix of sci-fi horror, humor, and chaos? Ick by Joseph Kahn is your go-to at TIFF 2024. This fast-paced, creature feature will keep you laughing and on edge with its bizarre alien invasion and a town that just doesn’t care. Here’s why you’ll love it.
What’s Ick About?
In the small town of Eastbrook, a mysterious alien entity, known as “the Ick,” has slowly been taking over for nearly two decades. Weird thing is, no one seems to mind! Except for high school science teacher Hank Wallace (Brandon Routh) and his sharp student Grace (Malina Weissman), who notice something’s seriously wrong. As they try to fight back against this creeping, vine-like alien, the rest of the town just shrugs. What follows is a mix of horror, dark humor, and plenty of action as Hank and Grace attempt to stop the Ick before it’s too late.
Why You’ll Love Ick
- Horror with a Twist: Instead of panicking about an alien invasion, this town just doesn’t care. The movie brilliantly satirizes how numb society can become to constant emergencies, and it does so with humor and style.
- Brandon Routh is Back: Remember Superman Returns? Well, Brandon Routh is back, and this time he’s battling aliens as a high school science teacher! His performance as Hank brings both action and humor to the screen.
- Pop Culture Vibes: Directed by Joseph Kahn (Bodied, Detention), Ick is packed with fast-paced action, quirky visuals, and a fun, nostalgic soundtrack. It’s a creature feature with a modern, pop-culture twist.
