This movie is the epitome of why you don't introduce an apex species into an ecosystem it is not native to, and I love it.
Yeah, like humans
even bottom feeders that come from a harsh biome can climb to dominate a different, foreign environment. They don't even have to be apex predators where they come from, bullfrogs in australia, for example

There's a reason why insects cannot grow bigger in size. I personally may not know it, but it is apparent to be a natural law.
@@lopiklop there isnt enough oxygen in the air to support growth that large for arthropods like insects and such.
Good thing we pollute the planet and by extension the oxygen requirements for those weird "outside skeleton critters" because i'm not going to live on a planet with giant spiders and centipedes.
This movie scared the absolute piss outta me when I was a kid. Don’t know what my parents were thinking letting me watch it!
I can relate. I watched The Thing when I was about 10 years old and it absolutely horrified me.
My dad showed me the thing, alien, predator, blade all by the time I was 4
@@amoshall3690 You win
@@amoshall3690 hhahahahahaha that's what I did with my kid!! And almost all those movies minus blade she saw that around 6 years old. I started her off with alien, predator, jurassic park, jaws, Halloween, and mimic. She's now a creature feature kid loves her creature features.
😂😂
Love that the scientists saw a large cockroach infestation and their FIRST thought was "hey let's engineer death mantises" like I feel like that should have been an idea left on the drawing board.
That idea crested a good movie, unlike modern movies who care about the drawing board and end up making boring movies because their afraid of taking a chance, alien predator 1 and 2, species trilogy, doom, dream catcher, tremors trilogy, the cave, primeval , relic, hills have eyes 1 and 2 , probably not successful movies but they are my favourites.
Oh you think thats fiction? We do that already humans a have been doing that for hundreds of years. In the past we used other species to manage the population of other insects/pest to protect out crops and other stuff.
In recent years we genetically engineered mosiqitous to control mosquitos population and reduce the spread of disease spread by them. Instead of chemicals. ( sound awefully similar to this movie right??)
in the movie more then 50 thousand kids die in like a few months it was that bad of virus the roachs carieyed
@RipleyandWeeds in reality, engineer the death mantises would be a better option to cull down the cockroach population.
Pesticides do not necessarily kill all the cockroaches. Those buggers especially the bigger ones are pretty resilient and even alive when you try to stomp them with your foot.
@@xMckingwill didn’t we just essentially sterilise male mosquitos and make them secure so females won’t breed with the fertile males? Hardly the same as splicing two species together to create some horrible new monstrosity
I remember going to the movie to see the movie Mimic. And of course my boy Charles Dutton kept up his streak of dying and all these kinds movies. But at least you got to take one of them with him.
Charles Dutton... I remember that actor. How times change eh?
😂
Just like I say.....the black guy dies in the science fiction, horror or apocalypse style movie unless he's the hero and sometimes that plot armor fails!!!!
How could expect uncle Carl Winslow from Steve urkel to not die ? Steve killed him every time he came over to his house
@@kriskringle8889 yeah uncle Carl is a O.G from surviving his car getting "swiss cheesed" (his words) in the first Die Hard. So I guess he has black guy movie might not die powers. Plus you get a few exceptions from time to time.
I love that this film doesnt specifically condemn "meddling in God's domain", as the main opponent of the creation of the Judas Breed even said that he had the main characters to thank for his grandkids being live and healthy.
It is more like "Even when what you doing is of the best intentions, there still might be a price to pay".
Like they say, the road to Hell is paved with the best intentions.
So, you're saying that creating life isn't necessarily taboo or unethical, only the outcome of doing so?
How apt in this day and age.
@@praetorianrex5571 nah. I'm saying that you can't account for all outcomes, and by, say, saving your father from a fire with a magical ham radio, you might cause a serial killer to kill your mother and go on a killing spree.
Whiskey got what I meant
@@praetorianrex5571 No mortal can create life.
Weinstien wanted the movie more scary, like his brother. Lmfao
What's scary is I read your comment only a few seconds before this part of the video 🤯

Never heard of this movie but it seems to fit to del Toros creative craziness
It’s amazing!
6:50, cool the Director's Cut! Love this version as it shows more character development, as well as being a fan favorite.
This movie was so underrated, loved it as a kid.
This film gave me nightmares as a kid when I was growing up. Still to this day I have yet to watch it again. Maybe I'll overcome my fear and watch it again.
Same!! Mimic 3 especially
Same here
I've waiting for this for a long time! Thank you for covering Mimic!
"scary.... Like his brother"
Damnnnn I love it!
Damnn I just caught it now... Ahahaha damn that was a good one!! Hahahaaaa
The first half of mimic is pretty damn awsome.
Then it becomes a typical monster flick.
Still i cant help to like this one.
That’s because the first half was pretty much just Del Toro, while the second half was where Weinstein got involved the most.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who’s parent thought it was decent idea to bring their kid to see this in theatres.
Thanks dad!
Took me years to find Mimic on DVD in my region, now I need to hunt down the DC, great.
First I learned of the dc too. Hope I hope I find one too. Good luck on the hunt.
The idea of the "disguise" the insects use if so cool and shows how they developed specially to hunt humans
"Demanding it be scarier... Like his brother." I misunderstood that at first so it took a full second for it to click. When it did I laughed like Miss Krabappel because it took me by surprise.
"Demanding the film would be scarier, like his brother" 🤣🤣🤣🤣 died.
Mantis and roaches gives me nightmares to this day thanks to this so interesting movie
Lol I love Niyat's little nice one liners, he always sneaks them in every video he makes, lol Bob weinstein wanted the movie scarier like his brother 😂😂
Amazing work as always! I must admit I never had any desire to watch this film before but you have certainly piqued my interest!
You should!
This takes me back to my childhood great review of this movie and it’s creatures.
Thanks Damian!
@@filmcomicsexplained don’t mention it keep these videos coming !
Yesss! One of my absolute favorites!! 😁
I never knew there was a director's cut! I'll have to find it now.
Thank you! I always look for old or new horror movies to watch with my little sisters and I thought we'd seen just about every single non R rated horror movie when you uploaded this! Can't wait to see it!
No problem!
7:20 Susan was abducted by a female which can fly, the Male is Flatless (no wings)
I was young the first time I saw this and remember being so worried about that kid who confused and fascinated the bugs just enough for them to keep him around - I assumed they were like "what's he babbling about? it almost sounds like words. Maybe he's sick or something."
One of my favorite monster movies growing up! This and THE RELIC, which were both released in 1997! I saw this with my parents on VHS and it scared the hell out of us! I mean this is a crazy Sci Fi Horror film from Guillermo del Toro. Thanos, Josh Brolin is this movie!
Is it weird to say that given the failsafes put into the Judas Breed-which didn't work-that Mimic is like Jurassic Park but with bugs? Good movie though!
You are right since it was from the same era with the same concerns about genetic engineering and losing control of the result.
Can you do Let Me In? That was a good horror movie, and we're really left conflicted about what to feel about the girl.
Absolutely!
Let The Right One In is the original and superior version
I have been begging for this film as well.
They’re both great.
@@____________838 Eh
Do you plan to cover the sequels, and how they evolved the breed?
Yes, I absolutely do!
@@filmcomicsexplained sweet!
@@filmcomicsexplained I'm excited!!
Awesome! I was about to ask about the sequels.
The sequels were trash tho...
I never heard of this before. I'll have to check it out.
Oh man, you gotta check it out!
@@filmcomicsexplained Amen
There's a sequel.
I used to love this movie when I was a kid. Same with The Relic.
"Scary like his brother", good one.😂
In Guillermo del Toro stories kids aren't even safe! I remember watching this back when I was young, and being so shocked that the two NY boys were killed brutally!
Giants bugs all have one weakness, FIRE, especially naplam. That is why if a bug turns into a monster the size of a human burn it with fire
Was the queue of clips mixed up? Suddenly talking about a bug some kids found after having explained about the "King" of the bugs makes it seem like some clips switched places.
Yes!!! My request was fulfilled!!!!
“BROTHERHOOD OF THE WOLF” !! I think you would love it.
I always liked this movie. The creatures are so creepy.
Even though I lost my memory 13 years ago I can still remember this movie and I absolutely love this movie and one of the best horror films
Thank you heaps for the content. This video was brilliant as per usual.
That dude in the beginning getting dragged but couldn't fit was hilarious 🤣
This movie freaked me out when I was younger
Been waiting some time for you to cover this film. Thank you so much.
One movie I think you’d be interested is Frankenstein’s Army. The monster designs are really cool
This movie freaks me out. Mantis eyes are creepy as hell!
Years waiting for this review thanks Man...you never fail
For one thing, it was called Judas, what did they think was going to happen?
@7:36
NYAT: Susan is pursued by the king and is able to defeat him in the ultimate game of chicken
CHICKEN: That is a technical fowl
Since you have done the half-life headcrab explained can you please do an explained on the Warframe infested enemies
Sure!
Had no idea there was a directors cut released. Must check that out now
This is one of my favorite films of all time.
I grew up with mimic 1 and 2 and love these movies ❤
I mean the fact that only one of them was armed could have been a factor in the bugs strength
hidden gem this movie
I loved the first Mimic. I’d honestly love to see more films after 3 but I think this could be an awesome continuation in comic book format! Good video!
Who wrote the screenplay really did their homework, the limiting factor of insect and arachnids right now is because they not have lungs, but a primitive tubular system that let oxygen flow trough their bodies, in prehistory, prior the dinosaurs, the atmosphere was more dense, with more oxygen letting the insect grow to huge sixes, even to the sixes of average man, but now that the atmosphere is thinner, the insect cant grow as large, but if they develop lugs, they can grow sizes only limited by their exoskeleton.
This movie is super duper good!!!!! I really love watching this over and over again!!!!!!!!
Almost forgot about this movie thanks.
I do love that the movie is about a species of bug that is disguising itself as human and the character named Mr. Man isn't one of them.
Thank you for giving a explained video on this movie. I always try to get my sci fi friends to watch this. But no one has seen it other than me. I watched this movie on VHS years ago and it has always been one of my favorite movies. I still to this day search for anything i can find on this movie. I would love to meet the director and go back and forth with questions and what ideas he wish he took out and put in. Thank you again.
Underrated movie.. it stuck with me.
I've still yet to watch this movie but I've been wanting to so I figured I'd come check out this video and then see if I'm more interested or less interested
Cool. I never heard of this movie. Thanks for the introduction!
Anytime!
My maw maw(dad's mom) let me watch this when I was like 5 and it traumatized me lol
My dad got upset with her, then the next time he dropped me off with her to babysit me I saw "Cujo" on her movie shelf and she said "Oh you wanna watch that?"
My dad immediately went "NO! I told you mama, no more horror movies!" heheheh
Been waiting on this one...👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🤟🏾
That face mask thing is pure genius
Pure Genius is Del-toro in a nutshell
"Scarier like his brother"....nice 1 :)
My brother used to do the spoon clicking to scare me at night, this movie horrified me as a child.
Loved this film
Yes finally great video and we worth the wait.
I didn't know about the Director's Cut! I'm going to have to get a hold of that and watch it. I had also forgotten about Guillermo del Toro being the director. Thanks for covering this movie. Great video as always!
Our kids and I loved this movie "funny, funny shoes"
I'm gonna need a bigger bug zapper, a bigger can of spray, and sticky mats before I go to sleep tonight.😳
Absolutely love this movie
Me too! It’s incredible to see how far he’s come since
Because mira sorvino)
Mimic.. and The Relic were awesome
this movie needs a remake.
The monsters have really good designs
Wow. Its been a long time since I last saw mimic .
Can you do skyline (2010) or add it to your list 😀?
This was a crazy film.
The following sequels just weren't the same
"LIFE FINDS A WAY. Life expands to new territories. painfully, perhaps maybe even dangerously. But life finds a way"- Dr. Ian Malcolm/Jurassic Park
This movie was so underrated.
I loved this film as a kid! I still love this movie! 💚
Wow I’m so shocked you picked this cult classic. I loved this as a child. Thank you for this one ☝️🙏
This was me and my buddy's favorite scary movie when we was kids.
"Demanding the film be scarier -like his brother." LOL
This is one of the coolest movies with such an atmosphere to it , plenty of thrills in this one
like our favourite sci fi actor Jeff said "Life find a way"
Using a bunch of this for my Cyberpunk RED game.
Mimic was my childhood horror movie.
The worst part about this is that just now , they genetically engineering roaches now (2022)
I love that del Toro got the final FU.
Great video on one of the most underrated Sci fi/horror films
Love your vids!
Thanks Aggro Gaming!
Reminds me of subnautica... minus pretty much all of it except for a virus.
This scared me never wanted to watch clips or anything since I have a fear of roaches lol but since ur explaining I’ll just listen to it lol to scared to watch the clips
I need to watch that director's cut.
Honestly one of my favorite movies in the genre.
freaking love this movie. had no idea there's a director's cut! think you'll ever cover the whole series? the second was pretty good, dont remember the third that well
I remember watching this as a kid on home video. It terrified me so much that for a long while I was scared AF of cockroaches. Especially when it flies.
