Synopsis:
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.
A NOTE FROM THE
COMPOSER
Mimic was another Miramax movie and the
Weinsteins are involved in all their projects. Scream did a great
job at the box office and the editor of Scream also went on to do
Mimic. He cut a lot of the music from Scream into Mimic and they
liked it. Director Guillermo del Toro had some Spanish composer he
wanted to use at first, but as he heard more and more of my music he
became convinced that I was the guy. I met with him up at Toronto
where they were shooting. Then I wrote some music for their numerous
temps and test screenings that they had. After this it became
apparent that I should do the
movie.
