Aka: Mimic 2: Hardshell
When a cockroach-spread plague threatened to decimate the child population of New York City in the original Mimic, biologist Susan Tyler and her research associates developed a species of "Judas" bugs and introduced them into the environment, where they were to "mimic" the diseased roaches and infiltrate their grubby habitats. The plan worked until the bugs evolved to mimic their next prey.....humans! Just when they were all thought to be dead, the giant cockroaches are back, and this time they've mutated to take on human form!
Een detective uit New York en de insectenkenner Remy komen er achter wie de verdachte is van drie moorden. Moorden waarbij de gezichten van de slachtoffers op brute wijze zijn verwijderd. De verdachte is een grote gemuteerde kakkerlak die het gezicht draagt van zijn laatste slachtoffer. Zijn doel is zich voort te planten met Remy...
Though well-meaning scientists thought they'd destroyed them all, a single gigantic, murderous "Judas Breed" cockroach, which is capable of taking on the shape of a human, is still on the loose. When the monster follows entomologist Remy Panos (Alix Koromzay) and kills her boyfriend, Jason Mundy (Brian Leckner) ], Remy becomes the prime suspect. Assigned to the case, detective Klaski (Bruno Campos) grows convinced of her innocence -- and soon joins forces with her to hunt down the creature.
