Mimic: Sentinel

Years after the events of the original film, the mutant Judas insects have evolved and are spreading once again. A group of entomologists and military personnel are tasked with stopping their advance in the sewers of New York City. They discover that the creatures have developed new, more terrifying abilities and a hive mind intelligence.
