Rating: 5 stars
Summary: What afreaky movie!
Review: This movie made my hert pump even the second time I watched it al the way through it was scary.If you like movies that scare you you love this, believe me!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: BUGGED
Review: This sequel to MIMIC is a tense, eerie thriller, with some excellent suspense scenes and an engaging cast. Seems like the bugs from the first movie or at least one of them is back and wants the babies stolen by a treacherous Japanese man. Said man is killed in the first scene and the bug babies are hidden away. Enter Remy (Alix Kolomanzy) from the first movie, who is now a schoolteacher, an entomologist freak who seems to relate better to bugs than men. The poor girl takes polaroids of herself after each subsequent date falls through, and pastes them on a closet door. Meanwhile, seems like her dejected boyfriends are getting offed by this deadly bug, who can now take on more human appearances.
Edward Albert is wasted in a stereotypical governmental agent role; Bruno Campos is fun as the dashing cop, and Will Estes does a nice turn as one of Remy's former students who has the hots for her.
A worthy sequel and the special effects are pretty impressive.

Summary: Better than expected
Review: While it's not big-budget, it's actually a pretty intelligent and enjoyable sequel, and the effects are adequate for the story. The heroine is likeable and smart (and funny), and there are a couple other memorable characters, especially the government chap in charge of extermination.

Much more enjoyable than Aliens 3, Aliens 4, and any number of big-budget flops.

I'd give it 3.5 stars if I could.
