Mimic: Sentinel (2003 Video)
I liked it better than the first one
8 May 2005
A young man who must remain in an environmentally controlled apartment discovers that the Judas Breed bugs are back in this second sequel the film Mimic. My review will probably be the mirror opposite of most of the reviews here because, frankly, I was completely underwhelmed by the original Mimic film. (I think it was all the glowing reviews I read before I saw it.) I missed the second film entirely. This film, however, I enjoyed. If only because of the residual power of Alfred Hitchcock's "Rear Window," which is where they lifted the structure of this film, I found myself entertained throughout. And newcomer Rebecca Mader wasn't so bad either! (Check her out in the much more interesting "21 Eyes.") Not a great film, but definitely worth a look. It makes me want to see Petty's first film -- "Soft for Digging."
