In this gripping tale of survival, a horrific outbreak known as the ITCH! spreads like wildfire, turning its victims into frenzied, self-destructive shells of their former selves. Jay, a widower grappling with grief and desperation, seeks refuge in a seemingly safe department store alongside his estranged young daughter, Olivia. However, the sanctuary they believed would protect them becomes a nightmarish trap, revealing that the true danger lurks among them. With the infection closing in and paranoia escalating within the group, Jay and Olivia are forced into a harrowing battle--not just against the outbreak outside, but against the darkness within human hearts when faced with survival. With every decision bearing the weight of life and death, they must confront their fractured bond and make brutal choices to stay alive, leading to an unimaginable climax that will leave you questioning what it truly means to protect those we love.

There’s nothing much wrong with the characters as archetypes, but the screenplay struggles to make them actively interesting.

Itch! has got so much going on that it sometimes loses sight of its theoretical chief menace – an uncontrollable need for relief tied to self-destruction – but it still hangs together well enough as both horror and drama.

Listlessly plays out its predictable zombie scenario, with minimal creativity and no sense of direction.

Once the outbreak happens, the whole movie becomes an exercise in trust. The obvious answer is you cannot trust anyone, but the journey getting there is a gore filled one. The excellent ending will catch viewers off-guard.

3/5

The tightening psychological tension itself is enough to keep us locked in. But Kang never forsakes the horror elements, using a cool variety of practical effects in creating some effectively bloody scares.

3.5/5

The scenes of violent confrontation are relatively few, but mroe powerful for it... Kang wants us to see not just the physical effects of this, but the psychological effect on those doing harm.

A mysterious virus outbreak causes its victims to develop a terrifying and uncontrollable urge to scratch themselves and those around them, with deadly consequences. Trapped inside a convenience store, a group of survivors must fight to stay alive as the virus spreads, transforming the infected into lethal predators. "Itch!" is an indie body-horror movie that resembles the nightmares of the recent pandemic. Produced on a limited budget, the movie ultimately becomes a conventional zombie story, with limited character development and little room to explore its own concept.

You know, I liked the movie I did, but what made me upset is my own situation compared to the protagonist, I’m a widowed father, I have a 7 year old, her mom passed when my daughter was 1 and a half, yet this guy is having panic attacks, and saying he can’t raise a kid by himself alone, triggered is what this movie felt to me because while it was personal, my kid is my whole reason for existing, and if she stopped talking due to trauma I’d have her in every psychiatrist available to heal her and help moving on.

Another perfect example of "professional" critics being either bought off and/or just have no taste whatsoever.

A gory body film that showed promise but does lose its edge with pacing and plot issues. If you are looking for a film that will gross you out though give this one a chance. As I have to say after watching this one I’m starting to Itch myself Lol.
