Top CriticDel 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.
07/10/08
Preposterous, yes, but a lot of fun.
02/14/09
Fairly lame bug horror. Not del Toro's best, to put it mildly.
07/18/08
Del Toro proves that he doesn't just have a way with the poetic stuff: He can construct a nail-biter with the best of them.
01/01/00
Followed its terrific first half with a descent into horror movie formulaic crap.
02/28/02
Del Toro did what he set out to do, make an intelligent, enjoyable 'big bug' film.
01/01/00
It looks scary, but it doesn't feel scary. The elements are in place, but they're too familiar. Surprise is gone.
