Watch The Ick
Details
Superman Returns - well Brandon Routh anyway... He's back in The Ick, with Mena Suvari.
The 2000's is now nostalgia material as 2 decades was apparently a long time ago.
This looks like a fun film in a horror comedy / The Blob / The Stuff kinda way.
Brandon Routh was in Dylan Dog: Dead of Night & star-packed Scott Pilgrim v The World.
Mena Suvari from American Beauty & American Pie films (and Teenage Dirtbag)
I'll be at the 4pm showing on Sunday at South Point, if anyone wants to join me.

Blurb from the website:
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.
A wild ride driven by a power punk spirit, ICK is a dizzyingly fun and hilariously grotesque homage to throwback PG horror flicks, as well as an ode to Millennial nostalgia manifested in soundtrack needle drops by American Rejects, Paramore, and Blink 182.
Featuring an introduction with Director Joseph Kahn and a special guest musician from his celebrated music video career, plus stick around after the feature for a look behind the scenes with the cast.
