Preposterous, yes, but a lot of fun. Full Review |

 2/5 |
Fairly lame bug horror. Not del Toro's best, to put it mildly. Full Review |

Del Toro does not make Tyler a symbol of science gone out of control or of science for greed, instead he makes her a scientist who in doing good has created a monster and has to live with that guilt. Full Review |
