Ticks

As a Horror and Sci-Fi creature feature, 'Ticks' primarily elicits strong feelings of Fear and Anxiety due to the constant threat posed by the mutated, monstrous insects. Disgust and a sense of the Disturbing are central to the experience, driven by the grotesque nature of the ticks and the body horror they inflict. Viewers also experience Surprise from sudden attacks and Anticipation as the danger escalates. Given its B-movie aesthetic and premise, a degree of unintentional or campy Humor is also a notable emotional response for many.
