Ick (2025) FILM
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.

“Ick,” a sort of tree-like growth that goes from looking like harmless roots to looking like harmful alien tendrils just in time to rip apart a kegger that Grace happens to be attending with her friends.
The centerpiece of “Ick,” the party sequence, is a fun chance for Kahn to let his freaky side out as kids get possessed, destroyed, or both by the Ick.
Only Hank seems to know what’s going on—science teacher and all—and he’s determined to find a way to destroy the Ick before it turns the entire town into zombies.
Kahn’s most complicated ideas come from the repeated suggestions that no one but Hank is taking the Ick seriously.
The idea that something was always there, bubbling under the surface of the population, before it took hold and changed everything feels like a reach for commentary on the divisions of the 2010s and 2020s but it’s a bit underbaked.
It’s essentially about people ignoring the rot at the heart of something, even annoyed in the first act that this alien presence isn’t acting out. “Is the Ick gonna DO anything?” Famous last words. Even after the Ick becomes a killing force, people argue over its value and place in society, and how to handle it. The allegories become a bit aggressive.
