Review of Mimic (1997) by Tryasummersault — 11 Mar 2018
Incredibly underrated gem from a young Del Toro. You have to watch the directors cut blu ray to really appreciate his full vision for the overall story. The visuals are absolutely fantastic and you can easily tell that Del Toro had this genius gift of keen eyes and innovative creativity all along.
While the mutated insect cgi at times is extremely dated, the practical effects are insanely unnerving and realistic. The acting isn't supreme by any means but you definitely care for them in the end of their gruesome subterranean journey.
As far as creature features go this one is quite overlooked and really deserves more credit.
