Overview
A disease carried by common cockroaches is killing Manhattan children. In an effort to stop the epidemic an entomologist, Susan Tyler, creates a mutant breed of insect that secretes a fluid to kill the roaches. This mutant breed was engineered to die after one generation, but three years later Susan finds out that the species has survived and evolved into a large, gruesome monster that can mimic human form.

Viewing Notes
Yes, I watched MIMIC only about a month ago. But, that was the version released in theaters after being botched up by the film’s producers.
Finally, 11 years later, Guillermo Del Toro finally got a chance to edit this film the way he intended (for the most part.) And it’s a much better movie!
I can’t wait to dig into the extras on this.
