MIMIC - The Director's Cut [2011]

Visionary director Guillermo Del Toro disowned his 1997 creature feature Mimic after too much studio meddling ruined the final product. Nearly 15 years later, Del Toro was given the chance to recut his film into something closer as to what he had originally envisioned.
Unfortunately most of Del Toro's original ideas were never filmed so he was left to work with what he had. The first hour of the film is a vast improvement with just a couple minutes of extra character and atmosphere development making a world of difference. However it's the second hour that falls apart and exposes the film's weaknesses.
