Genre: Thriller, Horror, Sci-Fi, Bugs, Suspense, Monsters, Mutants
Tagline: For thousands of years, man has been evolution's greatest creation... until now.
Plot: When a cockroach-spread plague threatens to decimate the child population of New York City, evolutionary biologist Susan Tyler and her research associates rig up a species of "Judas" bugs and introduce them into the environment, where they will "mimic" the diseased roaches and infiltrate their grubby habitats. So far so good...until the bugs keep on evolving and learn to mimic their next prey--humans. Noirish, dazzling production work ensconces reliably creepy bug-related thrills. Based on the short story by Donald A. Wolheim.

 Kind of disappointing film is directed with some style by Del Toro and boasts an alright cast it's just the story lacks substance. The effects aren't quite as good as they could have been and there's a couple of poor plot points making it a fairly interesting idea that is only a bearable movie.  -- (TheVideoGraveYard.com)
...despite Del Toro's dislike of the movie, "Mimic" is a fun ride. No, it isn't really a Del Toro film. ... This is Del Toro's worst movie, but it's still a great flick, which says a lot for Del Toro.-- (eSplatter.com)
