"Manhattan, cockroaches are spreading the deadly "Strickler's Disease" that is claiming hundreds of the city's children. Entomologist Susan Tyler (Mira Sorvino) uses genetic engineering to create what she and her colleague (and husband) Peter Mann (Jeremy Northam) call the Judas Breed, a large insect (looking like a cross between a termite and a praying mantis) that releases an enzyme that kills off the disease-carrying roaches by speeding up their metabolism. The Judas Breed works spectacularly and the crisis is abated. The released population was all-female and designed with a lifespan of only a few months, so that it would only last one generation."
Guillermo Del Toro's second full length film which was no disappointment. I watched this movie in order to see the directors beginning. You see his personal style start to develop in this film for example religious characters and dark setting as well as the dark blue color present in most of his movies. Now the story could have been better but it was still a great watch. I would watch this film if you are a fan of Del Toro.
2.5/5
