Top CriticPreposterous, yes, but a lot of fun.

Fairly lame bug horror. Not del Toro's best, to put it mildly.

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.

Del Toro consegue criar alguns bons momentos de tensão e o filme conta com um design de produção bastante acima da média para exemplares do gênero. Ainda assim, a história óbvia, típica de uma produção B, resulta em um longa descartável.

A fun, goopy throwback to the Monster Flicks of yesterday.

It looks scary, but it doesn't feel scary. The elements are in place, but they're too familiar. Surprise is gone.

Followed its terrific first half with a descent into horror movie formulaic crap.
