 MIMIC
2
With
Alix
Koromzay,
Bruno
Campos,
Jon
Polito
Directed
by
Jean
De
Segonzac
After
Guillermo
del
Toro's
inspired
Mexican
vampire
take
Cronos,
we
saw
his
admirable
break
into
the
US
mainstream
with
his
grisly
and
original
urban
horror
project
Mimic.
Judas
bugs
were
developed
to
infiltrate
a
cockroach
plague
by
imitating
their
prey
-
but
when
they
evolved
with
humans
becoming
their
target,
the
city
was
in
deep
shit!
The
underground
subway
tunnels,
creepy
giant
bugs
and
dark
mood
was
great
and
the
conclusion
final
enough.
Then
imagine
the
surprise
when
years
later
they
pull
this
stinker
out
of
the
can
-
it
seemed
so
long
ago,
in
fact,
that
most
of
the
sequel's
video
box
synopsis
contains
the
first
film's
rundown!
It
seems
as
though
Hollywood
is
really
low
on
ideas,
even
at
the
Weinsteins'
Miramax
empire.
Here
a
bug
obsessed
biology
teacher
coincidentally
gets
embroiled
in
a
resurgence
of
the
Judas
bugs,
their
victims
becoming
clues
to
suspecting
her
as
a
killer.
Throw
in
a
kid,
a
wise-ass
cop
and
some
totally
lame
scares
-
this
one
can
stay
on
the
shelf.
A
highly
unnecessary
exercise.
The
crappy
role
as
the
school
principle
by
Jon
Polito
(of
the
Coen
Brothers
fame)
proves
that
some
actors
have
to
take
roles
to
pay
the
bills.
