This is quite an entertaining little sci-fi thriller about a worm that turned! “Tyler” (Mira Sorvino) is a distinguished scientist who created a bug that could kill cockroaches that were carriers for a deadly disease. Thing is, though, these super-bugs have started to get a bit out of control, and it isn’t long before they decide that it’s time to turn the tables on their creators – despite some supposedly limiting genetic engineering developed to inhibit precisely that! People are quite literally dropping like flies, so she and “Peter” (Jeremy Northam) have to come up with a solution before mankind gets gobbled up in a particularly gruesome manner. Sure, the acting and the dialogue are all pretty routine, but the visual effects have something of “The Fly” (1986) to them, as does the story and there is less frenetic panic in this that we see in many other films of this genre. Dare I say, there is even the merest hint of actual science. It is clearly sending us a message that however we may try to plan ahead for any eventuality, when survival of a species is at stake nature finds a way to get round even the most watertight of safety features. The ending smacks very much of sequel, but I doubt that will be able to develop the story much beyond the perfectly adequate conclusion offered here. It’s fine to watch on the telly, but you are unlikely to recall it for long afterwards.
Really good watch, will watch again, and do recommend.This is “the movie with bugs that look like people”, there aren’t a lot of unique ideas out there, so I like celebrating the ones I can point too.
While the cast and acting was really good, what makes this is the concept, the atmospheric tension and the practical efforts for the monsters.
This is about as close as you can get to being thrown into a termite hive without Rick Moranis or Hank Pym shrinking fools down.
Sometimes it is fun to see a pre-apocalyptic story instead of one where the world is already ruined by calamity.
One of the Best SF/Horror Hybrids of the 90s
With a continuous build-up of suspense and terror, watching this film you never really know whether or not any of the leading protagonists will make it out alive. The science fiction story line is almost convincing enough to make parts of the plot seem possible. F. Murray Abraham has an outstanding guest role and gets to deliver the best lines in the film. Despite criticism directed towards her, I felt Mira Sorvino was also quite good and believable in her role. The direction of Guillermo Del Toro is tight and well-paced. The only real criticism I have is there are a few too many convenient chance meetings and a few too many instances of people being in the right (or wrong) place at the right time. Also I felt the movie was just a little too quick in unveiling its mystery.
