Glad to hear this will be the director's cut. Nice cover too! Lionsgate titles often end up being heavily discounted, hopefully this will be the eventual case with Mimic.

I already have the theatrical Blu from Canada, but I will gladly double dip on this.
More than anything, I am really happy to see that this is more than just a port of the old Miramax DVD like the Scream Blus were. It makes me think Lionsgate might put this extra effort into future Miramax disks.

Definitely in for this!
I'm surprised, this art is better than the original art

FYI, this was initially announced as a Wal-Mart Exclusive on September 27th. I think the odds are that's no longer true, but it's worth remembering, just in case.

Should be very interesting. Did the studio start messing around during production or post-production? Also, I remember reading Del Torro being at odds with Rob Bottin. I wonder what that was about.

The final sequence is what irked me:
The film is streaming in HD on Netflix if anyone wants to refresh their memories. I thought it had a few good scares and a decent level of atmosphere. I had forgotten how cute Mira Sorvino was. Can't remember the last time I saw her in anything.

Very exceited about this one. I dont believe it was ever released on anamorphic DVD so the leap from shitty 4x3 letterbox to full blown HD should be great!

I didn't mean that it was an extended routine but rather that, when that moment ocurred, it was a sign of the movie making a turn for the worst.
However, you're right about Sorvino's character (and Sorvino herself).

Fucking sweet. I barely remember this movie. I saw it as a kid when the VHS came out for rent and thought it was ok. I LOVED Mira though. The only reason Im getting this though is Del Toro.

Really excited about this one, I never even got the DVD since it was so weak. August/Sept are delivering some great catalog releases!

I've never seen this, but I love del Toro's film so a blind-buy is guaranteed. Kudos to LG for loading it up and letting him recut the film.

Great looking release. I caught this on Netflix for the first time a few weeks ago and while it's not my favorite GDT film, it's still very, very good. Can't wait to see his cut of the film.
