A bunch of research biologists developed a species of Judas bugs engineered to mimic and overrun the diseased roaches in their grubby habitat as they threatened to decimate the child population of New York City four years ago.
Their plan worked but now suddenly to mimic their next prey which happens to be humans.
People thought they were destroyed but some of them survived and the mutated one's have a new metamorphoisis threatening to take over.
A school teacher named Remi Panos (Alix Koromzay) who is having trouble with her job and finding the right guy is pitted against these creatures with two of her students as they intruded on their nest which happens to be their school and are trapped by battling these things.

A film taken in a different direction alltogether and real disappointing typical bad sequel.
The film at times still has a dark edge to it like the first one but otherwise the story in this one was a complete waste of time.
However, there were good effects with the giant cockraches and it was cooler how more human they looked too.

The acting is nothing special in this film at all. Lead actress Alix Koromzay is very average with her part as a school teacher trying to find mr. right and quite frankly she is not my first choice at all.
Bruno Campos doesn't do much better himself and doesn't make a convincing detective.
However young actor Gaven E. Lucas seems to do fine as a young school student and shows a nice charm to his character.
Supporting actor Jody Wood does well as a sleazy type wise ass detective.

An asian man on the street in the pouring rain is slashed across the chest.
There's a skeletal corpse with the flesh torn off of it.
There is also a corpse hanging from a telephone wires with his face torn off.
A woman is stabbed by a cockroach in the stomach.
Another cockroach stabs a detective in the sides of his head and blood oozes out.
We also have slimy gore effects from the cokroaches.

Jean de Segonzac doesn't meet up to this sequel but he does show some interesting scenes at times but others were very stale.
He has great camera shots around the rough city of Manhattan and the shadows where the giant cokroaches are standing which makes you wonder if its a cockroach or a person like in the first one.
There is a scene that really makes you jump with a dialogue involving Koromzay and small actor Brian Leckner when he tries to ask her out on a second date and she refuses then closes the door and then he pushes it hard open. You wonder if something bad is going to happen but it doesn't still it gives you an intimidating impression.
Next we have another small actor Paul Schulze showing good horny expressions on his face in a restaurant with Koromzay and trying to take her home with him as the direction for a bad date between them looked fairly good. Then we get some surprise reactions from him when he is hit a few times on the street out of the blue by a giant cockroach and then dragged up to a building.
We have a nice first time dialogue with Koromzay and Gaven E. Lucas alone in an apartment together when Lucas' character is concerned about her job at the school.
When we have the cockroaches invading the school with the stomping and Koromzay, Lucas and Estes running away, Segonzac tried to make it look terrifying but yet he fails to do so.
There is a great camera shot with a giant cockroach pitted against Koromzay.
He directed Koromzay terrifically well after she is injured from a giant cockroach attacking her and she is losing conciousness which looks well performed.
Her battle between a giant cockroach in disgusie inside her apartment is the best work with Segonzac.
