Mimic
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.

60 of 82 · most liked firstThe line of @realgdt.bsky.social movie figures from NECA is still one of the best collections they’ve released. I do wish we had gotten a few more films and shows added. Crimson Peak, The Strain, and Mimic would have all yielded some tea fun figures.

unlabelledView post →Mimic (1997) Dir. Guillermo del Toro – Better than any giant bug film should be, thanks to del Toro’s amazing eye and Mira Sorvino acting with conviction. On the surface a fun 50’s creature feature update but with real atmosphere and menace that elevate it well beyond the genre’s roots.🎞️📽️

unlabelledView post →Generally, most monster movies COULD be told in such a way that they're horror movies, but that's not usually the case. Like, Mimic is definitely a monster movie that also works as a horror movie, but you can't get mad at Lake Placid or Slither or Tremors for not scaring you

unlabelledView post →TRIVIA: Guillermo del Toro declined the chance to direct this film. He would later direct ‘Mimic’ for Miramax, but had similar creative battles with the studio as Kevin Yagher had on this film, and both men eventually disowned the final films. (IMDB) 🖤
unlabelledView post →I’d love to have ROM 1, sweet book! I’m going with Uncanny X-Men #19 (1966) first appearance of the Mimic, Calvin Rankin. Seems like the X-MCU could have a ton of fun with a Mimic cameo/appearance in a show or movie, when they get going.
unlabelledView post →I loved this movie and I always seem to try to watch it around the same time I rewatch Mimic which was also in 97. I feel like they have very similar style choices and vibes.

One of only 2 of his movies I haven’t seen on the big screen (just leaves DEVIL’S BACKBONE but will hopefully happen). And, MIMIC came out on 4K this week as well.

unlabelledView post →Mimic is such a hot mess of a film. I can see Guillermo del Toro in it, but it seems like it got butchered in the cutting room? Maybe the producers hated it? Maybe he just couldn't make it work? A shame, because it was an interesting concept and clearly had an ok budget.

unlabelledView post →556/—‘Mimic’ GDT’s first English-language film, and it has many of his cinematic signatures (child-like wonder, sympathetic monsters, practical FX). Sorvino is a bug doc who genetically engineers a superbug that mimics humans. Unfairly, others must atone for her sins #Horror365Challenge #MutantFam

unlabelledView post →Mimic is a great movie actually. Some scientists make a hybrid species of roach that feeds exclusively on other roaches to help curve the eventually extinct roaches in new york city but because they die so fast, hey learn to hyper breed and superevolve into human-sized bugs that mask as humans.
