Review Summary

A strain of lab bred roaches was released in the sewers of NYC to poison the carriers of a disease that threatened to kill all of the children.
Unfortunately the new species did not die out as predicted, but mutated into a human mimicking (and sized) bug.
People start disappearing (they are being eaten) and it is up to the scientists that developed the new species to find it out (they hide in the subway and sewers) and wipe it out.
This first class movie was directed by Guillermo del Toro.
The original story was written by Donald Wollheim.
Herman the German, Resident Scholar
