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.

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.… Expand

The first experience of Guillermo del Toro out of México it's such a love letter for the sci-fi movies of mutant bugs (Tarantula, Them, The fly) that had their boom in the 50s.

Rob Bottin (The thing, Robocop) designed an awesome monster, hard to forget. The end result could have been better were it not for the interference of the producer. Deserves a chance.… Expand

Became truly enamored of Guillerm del Toro following “Pan’s Labyrinth.” Before that I found “Mimic” one of the most underrated and captivating Sci-Fi movies of the 90’s and still passes muster to date. With strong science and a superb storyBecame truly enamored of Guillerm del Toro following “Pan’s Labyrinth.” Before that I found “Mimic” one of the most underrated and captivating Sci-Fi movies of the 90’s and still passes muster to date. With strong science and a superb story this movie grips from the go and doesn’t disappoint. I referenced this movie years/decades later unaware that the Man, the Myth, and the soon-to-be Legend G.d.T. was the architect. It makes perfect sense given his now vast seemingly unparalleled body and scope of work.… Expand

There's not much to write home about in Guillermo del Toro's first Enlish-language film, but it's tough to know exactly where the blame lies, given the infamous studio interference throughout the production. Still, del Toro's lavish styleThere's not much to write home about in Guillermo del Toro's first Enlish-language film, but it's tough to know exactly where the blame lies, given the infamous studio interference throughout the production. Still, del Toro's lavish style helps to make up for a lack of substance, and as a straightforward monster flick, it works pretty damn well.… Expand
