Dimension Home Video's release of Mimic: Sentinel, the third film in the giant cockroach series, hits DVD shelves in a surprisingly packed disc that should hopefully draw more attention to this better than average straight-to-video sequel. The picture is presented in a sharp 1.85:1 widescreen picture that's enhanced for 16 x 9 televisions, while the audio is supplied in a crisp Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround audio track. Extras include a behind-the-scenes featurette, an audio commentary by writer/director J.T. Petty, and audition tapes from stars Alexis Dziena, Karl Geary, Rebecca Mader, Keith Robinson, and John Kapelos. The big star of the DVD is Petty, who, fresh off his ultra low-budget shocker Soft for Digging, was handed the piece solely with a premise and a due date of when he could get it done. His humility comes across in both the featurette and in the commentary, where he freely admits accepting the job for its paycheck and never displays the kind of pomposity that other newer directors tend to fall into. You've got to hand it to Dimension for giving so much of the spotlight over to such a new talent on this disc, which in any other case would have been bare to the bone.
