Review – Mimic

Roaches bug you? If so, skip this one. It takes a little while to get rolling, thanks at least in part to the too-much-MTV-too-much-film-school direction that pervades the first 20 minutes or so. After it settles down, it turns into a pretty run-of-the-mill giant bug horror picture. Rob Bottin did the special effects, so you know you’re in for plenty of gross-out, too. Warnings, though: gratuitous dead cat, and gratuitous kid violence. Mildly amusing
