Movie Description
When a cockroach-spread plague threatens to decimate the child population of New York City, evolutionary biologist Susan Tyler and her research associates rig up a species of "Judas" bugs and introduce them into the environment, where they will "mimic" the diseased roaches and infiltrate their grubby habitats. So far so good...until the bugs keep on evolving and learn to mimic their next prey--humans. Noirish, dazzling production work ensconces reliably creepy bug-related thrills. Based on the short story by Donald A. Wolheim.

Industry Reviews
"...Ominous....The bugs move with scary agility, and the sounds are highly evocative..."
New York Times - p.C3 - Janet Maslin (08/22/1997)
"...Del Toro is an expert at the ominous, using a striking visual sense to drench his films with an atmosphere suffocatingly thick with undefined menace..."
Los Angeles Times - p.F20 - Kenneth Turan (08/22/1997)
"...Stylishly directed by Guillermo Del Toro, whose visual sense adds a certain texture that makes everything scarier and more effective..."
Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert (08/22/1997)
