It Might Bug You




MIMIC-(1997)-Some people like insects. Love 'em or hate 'em Guillermo del Toro's MIMIC at the very least will make your skin crawl.

A entomologist (Oscar winner Mira Sorvino) accidently creates a mutant type cockroach that likes to eat humans. It's pretty routine until the fairly exciting climax in an old subway terminal where blood, guts and gore fly. Charles Dutton is on hand as a cop who says "fuck" a lot. Jeremy Northam (who was in ARMISTAD the same year) is Sorvino's boyfriend- doctor who whispers most of his lines. Giancarlo Gianini hangs around too. You could do worst....

Del Toro's next effort was the excellent THE DEVIL'S BACKBONE and then BLADE 2.

Thanks for reading!
