Mimic
The story tells of an amazing invention by scientists in a short time. That story began when a team of scientists created a genetic insect that stopped the spread of a deadly disease, but after only three years it changed completely and turned the invention into something completely antithesis. There seems to be something wrong, as these insects seem to grow to destroy the only predator, the human being.

a real creepfest, directed for maximum chilliness

While a visual treat, Mimic is exactly that, a film which mimics other styles and plot elements. In this case Alien and David Cronenberg's The Fly and Videodrome.

A dark, dank and derivative horror ride only an Orkin man could truly love.

Preposterous, yes, but a lot of fun.

It comes off smarter and creepier than I recall the original, less about scares than a sustained atmosphere of eerie unease and skittery threats.

Fairly lame bug horror. Not del Toro's best, to put it mildly.

It's clear now that Del Toro's favorite themes and symbols were already in place, with the vast underground setting, machinery, and man's interference in the supernatural order of things -- not to mention a talent for pure terror.

Del Toro does not make Tyler a symbol of science gone out of control or of science for greed, instead he makes her a scientist who in doing good has created a monster and has to live with that guilt.

Viewers will be forgiven for wanting to rush next door and douse their neighbor with RAID.

Del Toro consegue criar alguns bons momentos de tensão e o filme conta com um design de produção bastante acima da média para exemplares do gênero. Ainda assim, a história óbvia, típica de uma produção B, resulta em um longa descartável.

Mimic: The Director's Cut on Blu-ray is a true gift for fans.

A dark story that entertains with artistic moments until it fizzles as it becomes derivative of those standard sci-fi horror Big Bug films from the fifties.
