COUNTRY USA

GENRE Horror

DIRECTOR Guillermo del Toro

CAST Mira Sorvino

Jeremy Northam

Charles Dutton

NOTES A big disappointment this despite the presence of Sorvino.

She plays an entomologist who creates a sterile cockroach

which will hopefully reduced their infestation of New York

which is causing the deaths of children. The sterile

cockroach which has a life of only 6 months appears to do the trick.

But three years later there are strange happenings in the

subway. Sorvino's cockroaches have mutated into giant

creatures. The rest of the film is about killing them and finding

their nest. The people who matter, that is those who we

worry about might be killed, include a shoeshine man and his

autistic son. Except we've lost interest as the monster

cockroaches are chased around the subway.

The autistic boy has a sort of sixth sense about the

cockroaches and doesn't appear to be threatened by them.
