MIMIC (1998)
GUILLERMO DEL TORO
Plot
A Hollywood first from the director of Mexican cult chiller "Cronos". When New York's children are threatened by a polio-like epidemic, Mira Sorvino and fellow bug scientist Jeremy Northam save the day by altering the DNA structure of the disease's carrier - the cockroach. Three years later, it appears that their genetic tampering has had catastrophic results, with new and improved turbo-roaches lurking in the tunnels beneath the city, mimicking and preying upon their human predators. A grimly gripping, subterranean nightmare, and definitely not for the squeamish!
