281. Mimic (1997)

June 22, 2014

Guillermo Del Toro's creepy giant bug movie 'Mimic' was pretty entertaining. Mira Sorvino stars as an entomologist with a slightly disturbing bug obsession. When she unleashes a genetically engineered, cannibalistic super-cockroach in the sewers with the intention being to cull the cockroach population in the city, things go pretty smooth for a while. Fast forward a few years and people start dying in the subways. With the help of an autistic little boy, a cop, and a couple other scientists, Sorvino figures out that the killer is actually the progeny of her creation and it has evolved to enormous size and strength. The creature now craves human flesh instead of other bugs. It is up to the motley gang of giant insect hunters to track down and kill the creature before it is too late. If you're easily creeped out by bugs (especially big ones that can kill you), skip this one. Otherwise check it out, it is really good.
