Description: From master mythmaker Guillermo del Toro (Pan’s Labyrinth, Hellboy, The Shape of Water) comes a “terrifying film of great elegance” (San Francisco Chronicle). Starring Mira Sorvino (Mighty Aphrodite), Jeremy Northam (The Net), Charles S. Dutton (Alien3), F. Murray Abraham (Amadeus), Giancarlo Esposito (Hannibal) and Josh Brolin (No Country for Old Men), this electrifying thriller brings the epic battle between man and nature to life when a team of scientists discover a glitch in their miracle cure. With the power to mimic and destroy its every predator and the threat of an entire city’s destruction, their creation has taken on a horrifying life of its own. The ever-growing weight of extinction on their shoulders forces the team to take matters into their own hands in this stylish hit that delivers heart-pounding thrills from beginning to end.
