Three years ago, entomologist Dr. Susan Tyler genetically created an insect to kill cockroaches carrying a virulent disease and released it into New York City. Now, the insects are out to destroy their only predator, mankind.

Guillermo del Toro’s (Pan's Labyrinth, Hellboy) first Hollywood feature is an atmospheric journey into darkness, made terrifyingly complete with intricate design-work from two of the best in the business: Carol Spier (The Fly, Naked Lunch) and Rob Bottin (The Thing). Starring Academy Award winner Mira Sorvino (Mighty Aphrodite), Charles S. Dutton (A Time to Kill), and Josh Brolin (True Grit), Mimic brings the epic battle between man and nature to life when a team of scientists discover that their experiment in genetic engineering has gone horribly awry.
