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.

Fairly lame bug horror. Not del Toro's best, to put it mildly.July 29, 2002
a real creepfest, directed for maximum chillinessMarch 07, 2007
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.September 24, 2011
Mimic: The Director's Cut on Blu-ray is a true gift for fans.July 10, 2008
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.May 08, 2012
Viewers will be forgiven for wanting to rush next door and douse their neighbor with RAID.February 14, 2009
Preposterous, yes, but a lot of fun.January 01, 2000
A dark, dank and derivative horror ride only an Orkin man could truly love.January 29, 2012
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.September 30, 2011
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.May 19, 2012
It comes off smarter and creepier than I recall the original, less about scares than a sustained atmosphere of eerie unease and skittery threats.April 26, 2017
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.
