Mimic Collection


It's great to see Hollywood take hold of the creature feature. So many great ones languish in the video market with restrictive budgets, some of which could very well make a mark given the chance. Welcome to one of those that had a shot, Mimic.

Mimic is one of those movies that causes you to fly out of your favorite chair numerous times. Director Guillermo del Toro (who has strangely decided to disown this film for some reason) of Hellboy fame creates deep tension in every scene, limiting the lighting and using sound to his advantage. Strangely similar to a book released in the same year called Reliquary (that a sequel to another monster movie/book, Relic), the underground subway setting is perfect for this movie. The clicking sound (along with the echo effect) the Judas make is downright creepy and everytime you hear it, it sends a small chill through your veins.

Mia Sorvino seems like a strange choice to play the films role, that of a bug-loving entomologist, but she keeps things believable and has some nice chemistry with her on-screen husband Jeremy Northam. Young Alexander Goodwin has a very strange and disturbing role as a mentally challenged boy who can replicate the bug's sound with spoons.

Special effects are both practical and CG created while the creature designs are disgusting (just like fans want them). There are some great gore moments and the action scenes are spectacular, including the incredible non-stop finale. Some gaping plot holes (mostly concerning the creatures) do exist, but it's a giant bug movie. None of that really matters.

Review: An ultracreepy blend of horror and fantasy (think of it as Beauty and the Bugs) from Mexican director Guillermo del Toro (Cronos) about giant cockroaches in the subway tunnels beneath Manhattan. Like its DNA-altered spawn (the title refers to the way some insects evolve to resemble their predators), Mimic is not your everyday bug picture, but a more poetic (though quite gruesome) sort of film, literally crawling with bizarre, striking images. In this case, the mutant bugs are not the result of evil atomic experiments (as in Them!), but are the unexpected side effect of work done by an entomologist (Mira Sorvino) and her Center for Disease Control officer husband (Jeremy Northam), who, in a last-ditch effort to control a roach-carried disease epidemic that was killing children, released a genetically altered form of sterile cockroaches beneath the city. They stopped the virus, but... Also starring Charles Dutton, Giancarlo Giannini, F. Murray Abraham, and Josh Brolin. --Jim Emerson

Klaski considers Remy a prime, albeit unlikely suspect, in the killings until he witnesses for himself the shape-shifting creature that has been stalking Remy ? an intelligent six-foot-tall insect with the face of its previous victim. And it wants to mate with Remy. It's off to the races as Remy, Klaski, and a pair of her students are trapped inside the school as the creature hunts them down. Meanwhile, a military unit of bug busters gets ready to fumigate the school with poison gas. ? Buzz McClain

hey, want to get back to this one.

First off mimic 3 borrows heavily from Hitchcock's Rear Window... don't think it even tries to hide it. However, the third is far superior in every single way to the previous two.

Mimic 3 is a must see movie and by far the best thing in this franchise.

2 is wank, 1 is okay i suppose, the third one though is sooooo much better... right down to the fact Bishop is in it too.
