The Strain monsters look almost the same as these.

Guillermo del Toro is the director of this movie as well as the creator of the Strain. So he stole from himself.

Ah, I didn't know that. Thanks for the info.

No probs. I love the Strain and a fan of the Blade films. Del Toro is a talented director.

He did both but he doesn't own the rights to Blade II. Whatever designs made for Blade II are the property of New Line, not del Torro.

He didn't take the "Reaper" name and the stinger design is a bit different from Blade II, but Del Toro still took his ideas to make The Strain.
