HorrorScience Fiction

A disease carried by common cockroaches is killing Manhattan children. In an effort to stop the epidemic an entomologist, Susan Tyler, creates a mutant breed of insect that secretes a fluid to kill the roaches. This mutant breed was engineered to die after one generation, but three years later Susan finds out that the species has survived and evolved into a large, gruesome monster that can mimic human form.

VIBE

A descent into a grimy, claustrophobic urban nightmare, Mimic is a creature feature steeped in dread. It's a visceral, unsettling experience as an unseen threat evolves, turning the familiar into something monstrous. The film pulses with a palpable sense of unease and grotesque horror.
