The Big Picture When it comes to filmmakers, there are some who have such a unique style to them that their work is instantly recognizable. Guillermo del Toro is one of these filmmakers. With a style that embraces both the dark and the whimsical, his work often feels like a twisted fairy tale. From films such as Pan's Labyrinth to The Shape of Water, he's proven his prowess as a creator time and time again.

What Makes 'Mimic' Stand Out As a Unique Creature Feature? Close There are countless sub-genres under the horror umbrella. From slashers, to paranormal, and yes, creature features. These types of movies always consist of some type of creature raining down terror on a city or a group of people. Some that come to mind are films such as Tremors and The Creature From the Black Lagoon, which are both excellent examples of the genre.
But what ultimately makes Mimic stand out is how it goes about portraying its creature. Let's be honest here, the idea of a gigantic insect terrorizing New York City is a bit ridiculous, but it never feels that way when you're actually watching the movie. Since the bug was created with a very distinct purpose and didn't just spawn out of nowhere, it doesn't have to over-explain its existence, and thus it doesn't come off as juvenile as it very easily could have.
'Mimic' Embraces the Gross and Gorey Guillermo del Toro is known for his love of bugs and other creepy crawlies. In all of his films, you can see the influence his love for the gross and gnarly has on his work, and Mimic allows him to dig into that. But what is so interesting about del Toro's style is that, while Mimic is certainly gross at times, what with all the goo and innards we see coming from the bugs, but it's also strangely beautiful.
