" Three years ago entomologist Dr. Susan Tyler genetically created an insect to kill cockroaches carrying a virulent disease, now the insects are out to destroy their only predator, mankind! Director Guillermo Del Toro, was less than thrilled with the finishing product, and came very close to leaving the film, but however thanks to Mira Sorvino who stood up for Del Toro. he remained aboard.
