Review of Mimic 2

Mimic 2 (2001 Video)
3/10
A bad sequel to a descent film. Would rather eat roaches than watch this again.

Warning: Spoilers
I new even before watching this that I should not be expecting too much of it.

I mean it IS a sequel to a film that didn't need a sequel. It does not have any big names. It IS a straight to DVD film shot in a month.

I new all of the above before clicking play. But even with all that lowered expectations, I wish that a cockroach had got stuck in my DVD player to stop me watching it.

They were trying to go for the mix between gore and cheese and achieved neither. Remi (Alix Koromzay) has got the continuing role from the much better prequel. (Even the prequel is 5/10 for me) She was the best actor in the film, even though her cheesy acting was hard to watch and it got even worse when it came to her acting in pain, which just looked like constipation with bad CGI.

The soundtrack was nothing special with the special sound effects were timed very badly often sounding very clumsy.

One thing that really "BUGged" me was the lack of explanation for a lot of roach related events. Especially the scene when the roach had injected the larvae into Remi towards the end, as this triggered a lot of questions.

-I thought the roach was attracted to her pheromones, but if the roach has injected her with larvae that would have meant that the roach was female and the eggs had hatched already, or that they have evolved so they did not need sex any more.

-If above is true then they were only looking for a carrier of the larvae which could have been any one. Kind of hard to understand pheromones are vital, maybe body temperature, but for the roach to have been stalking her for years it does not add up.

Finally I hope they do not make a third one... wait, what!? they have?... *Sigh*
