Eye Candy #372 - "Mimic"

Mimic:  Granted, I know this isn't the exact version that Guillermo del Toro originally envisioned, but I still can't help but like this movie. It's got mood to spare, convincing (and I think clever) monster effects, and my favorite part: a director who's not afraid to have children die on-screen. You see, it is very very infrequent that you will actually get to watch a child die in your full view. Muerto los ninos! Muerto los ninos! It just doesn't happen...unless you watch Guillermo. It's daring, it's unconventional, and for most, it makes people darned uncomfortable to watch children getting eaten on screen by giant mutant bugs. Good stuff.
