A fairly atmospheric creature feature with acting ranging from good to adequate to "oh no, your papers" HBOMax has both the theatrical and director's Cut of the film

A film where the concept and ideas are interesting, but the execution Is somewhat hampered by largely uninteresting characters and a rather generic plot, even with the Director’s Cut that now exists. There are flashes of a good film here and Del Toro manages to stage some fun moments once the action moves underground. But this feels like a film trying to unsuccessfully fuse an interesting new filmmaker’s sensibilities with a very generic US studio thriller. Thankfully, Del Toro went on to much better things.

A decent horror movie that has not aged the best. Some of the insects are truly disgusting and some look like bad CGI.
