Where to Watch The Mantis
- Cineit.blog12 October 2025"La Mante" kicks off with a killer premise: a famous serial killer, "The Mantis," helps the police hunt a copycat, but will only speak with her estranged cop son. It sounds like a French "Silence of the Lambs," but it falls apart almost immediately. The story is a mess of plot holes and storylines that go nowhere. Carole Bouquet is fantastic as the chillingly calm killer, but she's trapped in a show that's just plain boring. The motivations for the copycat are laughable, and the family drama feels like a bad soap opera. It had so much potential, but ended up being a predictable, poorly written disappointment. A total waste of a great concept.
