Welcome to the 124th episode of Horror Movie Franchises, formerly known as Food and Frightening Film Fanatics, where we provide commentary, analysis and critiques of horror movies.
In this episode, we explore the "Mimic" franchise. It consists of three films. The first was Guillermo del Toro's U.S. directorial debut. The other two movies went straight to home video. del Toro was not able to make the film he intended due to studio interference (from Miramax and the Weinsteins). He disowned the theatrical release and later created a director's cut that was closer to his vision.
"Mimic" joins a long line of killer bug movies where insects threaten to dethrone humans from the top of the food chain. They include: "Them!", "Empire of the Ants", and "Kingdom of the Spiders" (just to name a few).
