IMDb Trailer

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.

Editor's Notes

Note

Kino Lorber 4K arriving in early 2026 after a delay that had collectors asking "what happened to the Mimic 4K release?" Del Toro personally supervised the color timing. His director's cut is the version to watch, and this will be the first time it's been available in 4K.
