Welcome to Movie Shortens. Follow us today to a 2001 American science fiction/horror film
called: Mimic 2. Before we start, be aware: there are spoilers!
A man named Lincoln Tran is walking through a train tunnel with two suitcases and narrowly
avoids being hit by a train. He arrives at a station and sees a shadowy figure.
Outside in the rain, he tries to hail a taxi but it doesn’t stop. The figure appears again and he
runs through the street trying to escape. The figure suddenly appears in front of him
and slashes him with a huge set of claws. A taxi hits them both - the claws penetrate the roof of
the taxi and Tran is thrown to the side of the road. The taxi crashes and a crowd gathers.
Detective Klaski is briefed on the event by his colleague Kleeland. Tran was carrying
75 pounds of dirt. It is revealed that his face has been completely removed.
At school the teacher, Remi, explains that insects exist for survival of their own kind.
The creature enters the school boiler room with the other suitcase.
Outside, the kids are playing in the rain. Remi is being observed
by the creature as it makes insect sounds. That night, Remi has nightmares of her previous
encounter with the insect creature. Her room is filled with all kinds of creatures and insects.
The next day at school, Lou the janitor is working and tells Remi that she is the only
thing he’ll miss about this school. Outside, she is approached by Nicky - an
ex-student with a black eye - who offers to take her out but she refuses. She tells him that she
has a boyfriend. She leaves on her bike. Remi records a new answerphone message when
a guy named Jason appears at her door. She says that she is going out. They have been
on one date but he doesn’t seem to understand that she isn’t interested. He smashes through
her door in anger and then leaves. In her closet, she has polaroid pictures
of herself with men’s names written on them. She writes Jason’s name beneath the latest one.
Later, out in the rain, she bumps into a shadowy figure but doesn’t notice Jason’s dead body is
hanging above her. She meets another guy named Phillip for dinner. Afterwards,
he offers to take her home but she won’t go with him. After she leaves, he is hit by an unseen
assailant. He is knocked out and dragged up the side of a building and through an air duct.
On her way home, she is approached by Klaski. He goes to her apartment and looks around.
Outside, she can see a shadowy figure which then climbs the building and watches them inside.
Lincoln Tran was a colleague of hers but she explains that he sold endangered species online.
Over 200 species are now extinct because of him. Klaski makes notes and she thinks that
he is accusing her of murder. He leaves and she locks the door behind him.
As he walks through the alley, Jason’s body drops down on top of him.
Later, Remi is questioned by Klaski at the station and he reveals that Jason’s
face was also missing. Back at home, she takes another polaroid of herself.
The next day, Kleeland suspects Remi is the murderer
but Klaski asks him how he thinks that that tiny lady managed to lift Jason’s body
so high off the ground. At school, Remi is suspended
by the Principal - Morrie - for her suspected involvement in the murders.
Lou finishes his dinner and returns to the school.
Sal is still at school after 6pm. His aunt hasn’t collected him yet. Remi says that they will wait
till 7pm and then she’ll take him home. Lou walks to the school but is being followed
by the creature. Inside the school, he tries to do some pull ups on a bar but is attacked.
Klaski returns to the scene of Jason’s murder. He enters Remi’s apartment and finds her wall
of polaroid pictures. The latest picture has his name written beneath it. He removes it
and puts it in his pocket. Outside, there are a group of military investigators who,
under ultraviolet light, discover some kind of white fluid in the hallway.
Remi decides that it’s late enough and she decides to take Sal home. The corridor has been blockaded
with school equipment and Remi finds some of the same fluid. She calls out for Lou but Morrie
answers who tries to help by moving some of the equipment. A huge bug drops down behind him and
drags him away. Remi and Sal run and she states that it’s not possible as they were all dead.
They hide in a room and find Nicky already there. Sal tells her that he hides in here from his Dad.
Remi tells the kids to keep guard while she checks the window. She sees the creature
and takes a picture of it. The flash startles it while they escape back through the corridors.
The military investigators detect the presence of more fluid all up the wall
outside Remi’s apartment. Klaski walks away. Remi tells the boys that some time ago,
students were getting ill from cockroaches. She tells him that they created a new breed of
insect to kill them but they didn’t all die. Some continued to mutate and evolve to mimic their only
real predator - humans. The polaroid picture she took of the creature looks like Lou.
Remi tries to reassure Sal that the insect has no reason to hurt them. She suggests
that Lou disturbed their nest and that’s why it attacked him. Nicky is searching and finds the
suitcase and tries to open it. He reads the name - Lincoln Tran - and Remi tells him to leave it
alone. Suddenly it pops open. He says that it’s just dirt inside but insects start to emerge.
They try to close it again but the insects crawl out everywhere. They try to stamp on
them leaving the white fluid everywhere. Nicky thinks that they have disturbed the nest.
Klaski arrives at the school but the door is locked.
Remi suggests that running would be a mistake. She says that it will still act like a cockroach
so it is afraid of the light and likes confined spaces. They have sensors that detect air movement
so running will draw it out. They also have the ability to learn from their own mistakes.
Remi takes pictures to make sure that the coast is clear.
She says that they will also be attracted by their sweat so they must stay calm.
They continue onwards but eventually the camera needs time to recharge.
They hear the creature behind them but it is going the opposite way. Sal realizes that it is checking
on the babies so they run to try and clear the blockade. The creature breaks its way through
the door behind them. It has Lou’s face but that opens up to reveal an insect head instead.
The boys crawl through the blockade first as the creature scuttles along the ceiling towards Remi.
The camera has recharged and she uses the flash to startle it and then follows the boys.
She pulls the blockade closed behind them but it starts to break through.
The camera has run out of battery again and the creature advances. She asks it to kill her
quickly. It is wearing Lou’s face again and seems to stop but suddenly Klalski arrives and shoots
the creature. Remi is covered in the white fluid and they escape to the Principal’s office. They
switch on the lights. Remi calls the Centre for Disease Control - Epidemic Intelligence Service.
She tells them that she has an adult of the Judas breed in the school and asks them to hurry.
Nicky and Sal are looking for weapons but Remi says that everything they have is useless. If
they manage to chop it off then it will still be alive for nine days until it starves to death.
The creature is inside the wall tracking Remi by her scent. She tells them all to
leave as it’s her that it is after. Nicky suggests leaving her scent behind somehow.
Kralski leaves with Sal but gives her his polaroid picture before he goes. They can hear the creature
when suddenly the phone rings. They don’t answer and the creature becomes more agitated.
The military investigators arrive and say that she didn’t answer the phone.
They use the ultraviolet light on the outside of the building and see the white fluid all over.
Kralski and Sal crash through the doors telling them that there are two more people
in the Principals’ office. The investigator says that they can’t be any more as they just called.
Kralski asks them to wait but they say that there is no time.
Remi and Nicky creep through the corridors when the creature crashes through the ceiling.
Kralski hits the investigator and runs back inside the school.
The creature is examining Remi and Nicky. She realizes that his scent is now on her
and it will now try to eliminate him. She stands in the way while he escapes but she is stabbed by
the creature’s claws. Kralski arrives and shoots it whilst Nicky escapes. The creature attacks
Klalski but stops when the military arrives and it drags Remi away. Kralski gives chase.
Outside some canisters of gas arrive. Remi is hung upside down in the nest and
pulls herself free. The white fluid is covering her wound. As she walks through the corridor,
she finds Kralski who picks her up. The military release the gas and as he
tries to carry her outside they find that the entrance has been sealed. Remi manages to cut
the seal and release them from the school. She wakes some time later in a hospital bed
being examined by some medics. She worries that there is something inside her. The medic says
that they removed insect larva from her body. He tells her that he doesn’t know what they
were as they were immediately confiscated by the department of defense but they were
responsible for her remarkable recovery. The military are still at the school looking for
the creature. They find a shell and realize that it has already morphed into a new creature. They
need to find it while it’s skin is still soft. Sal comes to visit Remi.
He brings her a jar of ants. A short time later, Sal returns home with Remi.
They find that her new door is open. The suitcase is on her bed with a hole in it.
She spies a cockroach skuttle under her bed. She tries to make a phone call but it has
been disconnected. Her door handle rattles. It is Kralski and she is relieved - although
suddenly she realizes that he is covered in the white fluid and blood and making insect noises.
The military investigators find Kralski’s body and learn that it wasn’t him that
carried Remi out of the school. Remi approaches the creature and
examines the face. She suddenly slashes and kills it quickly.
It lays on the floor in front of the door but as she tries to open it, the creature begins
to writhe again. Sal states that they have to wait nine days for it to die of starvation.
