This is the most famous "Mimic"—a stylish, dark creature feature that marked Guillermo del Toro’s English-language debut. It follows entomologists who create a "Judas Breed" cockroach to stop a plague, only for the bugs to evolve and start imitating their predators: humans.
Since there are several notable works titled "Mimic," here are reviews for the three most prominent ones. Directed by Guillermo del Toro
: Watch it if you love atmospheric horror or creature features. Look for the Director’s Cut for a version closer to del Toro's original vision. The Mimic (2017 South Korean Film) Directed by Huh Jung
: Many critics consider it an "underrated gem" and one of the best "big-bug thrillers" ever made. However, some note that the final act feels a bit "safe and predictable" due to studio meddling from the Weinsteins, which del Toro famously struggled with.
