Review – Mimic 2

The bugs are back, apparently not effectively killed in the first one. You spray and spray, and ... well, you know the rest. Their new, improved form apparently includes a desire to mate with a human woman, a schoolteacher entomologist with especially attractive pheromones. Also added to the mix is a sinister government task force – a la Predator 2 – that’s trying to get at the bugs and otherwise prolong the plot. Some of the effects aren’t too bad, and over the course of the story one does actually learn a bit about roach biology. But otherwise this is fairly standard fare. Mildly amusing
