Something went wrong
Try again later.
Mimic
This experiment is about a world of powerful inventions, where a team of scientists is creating a genetic insect that will stop the spread of a deadly disease. It looks like it will be quite different. Only three years later I found that something had happened wrong. It seems that the insects will start again to experience a new attempt to destroy humanity.

Preposterous, yes, but a lot of fun.

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.

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 real creepfest, directed for maximum chilliness

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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