Fairly lame bug horror. Not del Toro's best, to put it mildly.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.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.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.September 24, 2011
Mimic: The Director's Cut on Blu-ray is a true gift for fans.January 01, 2000
A dark, dank and derivative horror ride only an Orkin man could truly love.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.February 14, 2009
Preposterous, yes, but a lot of fun.July 29, 2002
a real creepfest, directed for maximum chillinessJanuary 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.March 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.May 08, 2012
Viewers will be forgiven for wanting to rush next door and douse their neighbor with RAID.
