Mimic

Why tonight?

• ◆Under two hours — there is still an evening on the other side of it.
• ◆It goes hard on frights — not a wind-down.

The story

A disease carried by common cockroaches is killing Manhattan children. In an effort to stop the epidemic an entomologist, Susan Tyler, creates a mutant breed of insect that secretes a fluid to kill the roaches. This mutant breed was engineered to die after one generation, but three years later Susan finds out that the species has survived and evolved into a large, gruesome monster that can mimic human form.
