Mimic (1997)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Guillermo del Toro
Starring: Mira Sorvino, Jeremy Northam, Giancarlo Giannini, Alexander Goodwin
Peter ignites a nest of the Judas Breed insects with steam pipes and sets off a massive chain reaction that kills almost all the insects. Susan (Mira Sorvino) kills the male Judas Breed insect by running towards a subway train, avoiding it, and the insect slams against the train and is killed.

Dr. Gates: Evolution has a way of keeping things alive.
Trivia: In the original ending as intended, the "King" of the Judas Breed wouldn't be killed by the train, but would rather in silhouette form back into a human "mimic." He'd step out of the shadows to reveal the perfect image of a nude human male. He would then point at Susan and in English tell her to "leave", implying that the Judas Breed had reached such a stage in their evolution to be able to perfectly mimic human beings, even down to speech patterns. This was in keeping with the original, much more apocalyptic tone of the story before script-changes forced by the producers.
