Disease-spreading cockroaches are killing New York City's children until Entomology expert Mira Sorvino "creates" a six-legged counter agent; this works for awhile, but soon this alternate bug breeds and creates its own deadly legion. Spooky monster movie, with the usual... Full review

It's a really dumb idea to mix up roaches, ants, and terimites! They also have a weird name for the bugs " The Judas ", Mimic is not really a bad movie. Mira Sirvano and the other cast members are great... Full review

Since I'm not all about negativity, lets start out with the only positive thing about Mimic... The acting is actually pretty good, especially Mira Sorvino who does a great job at 'almost' making me care about this horribly boring story. It... Full review

The film gets claustrophobic and intense for the next straight 40 minutes.....Despite having a script that's a lot smarter than it's entitled to, "Mimic" is still pretty predictable.....The stalk scenes are well choreographed....The bloodletting in "Mimic" is swift and ferocious.....With an abundance of style and flash, "Mimic" is a good addition to its chosen genre..... ...

But somewhere down the line, someone decided FOR ME that Mimic 2 (2000, 82 minutes) wasn't marketable enough for me to enjoy in a U.S. theater.
