Storyline

In a decaying neighborhood, asthmatic and allergic amateur photographer Marvin Montrose spends his days and nights confined in his room, snooping on his neighbors in the next building with his camera. When a boy disappears in the spot and then the local drug dealer Desmond, Marvin suspects a mysterious garbage man and his sister Rosy and her friend Carmen investigate. Meanwhile, Marvin witnesses the death of Detective Gary Dumars and a stranger on the street by two mutant Judas Breed insects and discloses that their prime suspect is the CDC Agent Kirchner.

User Reviews

A masterpiece movie that has not been watched and understood correctly

Its a shame J.T Petty's only done 1 other movie called Soft for Digging,but that movie is also awesome.Mimic 1 was good but kind of boring.Mimic 2 wasn't that good but still watchable.This had perfect timing for pretty much everything.Sound Effects,Special Effects,Scares,you name it.The only problem I have with this movie is its a tad short.I mean,76 minutes?Thats a movie?I didn't even know they were allowed to make a movie that short(73 if you don't count the end credits)And the ending is rather abrupt,but I'll allow it..If you like monster sci-fi's,persay,Species,Alien etc.Then give this a shot.If you don't care for monster movies,then you should probably skip it.And whether you decide to see it or not,its your decision! P.S Even if you don't like it its only 76 minutes and thats not much so you wont feel totally cheated!
