I first saw this in the late 90s. Revisited it recently. Fast forwarded most scenes as i found the film to be not gripping n in fact annoying with those darkly shot scenes.
A detective is puzzled after recent spate of deaths involving decapitations. He visits a museum when a new victim is found murdered in the same way. In the museum, he encounters an evolutionary biologist who herself is puzzled after discovering a mutated beetle that possesses both insect and reptilian DNA. The detective finds a common link between the murders, hypothalamus missing from the brains of the victims. Together they both try to defeat a monster/killer who is on a killing spree. Most of the film is shot in the dark n to top it all, they added the annoying flickering flashlights. The action happens only in the last 30 mins. The design of the creature is very well done.
