Good story, Not enough for a whole film

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

This film is not entertaining in any way.It's not cheesy and fun like Samurai Cop. It's not bad and funny like The Room, Birdemic, etc. It's not competent and great-at-what-it-is like Sharknado. And finally it's not as entertaining as AA supernatural insects/whatever attacks.It's just bad. It's weak stuff. The colors are drab and it looks like it was filmed in the 70's or 80's. It's a cheap sci-fi film like many, many others. If you're looking for a movie so bad that it's good, this is not the right place. I did not laugh once. I did not even chuckle. It's not original in any way. This is comparable to the Night of the Lepus.Nothing more to say.

After a meteor plummets to Earth in the middle of nowhere, the mosquitoes of the area grow to prehistoric proportions and take over a national park. A few random people band together in an attempt to get to rescue and determine what exactly is going on with the giant murderous skeeters.I tend to like 'dumb' giant-bug sci-fi/horror movies, like 'Starship Troopers,' 'Them!'. . . even 'Eight Legged Freaks,' for some reason. Sadly, there isn't much to like about Mosquito. Even for a B sci-fi movie, this is bad. The acting is horrendous, the writing is even worse, the effects are ridiculous. . . the only thing even slightly good about it is the makeup on the corpses. That's all. It tries so hard to be funny: It's not. It tries to be a gross-out flick: It's not. It tries to be scary, even jump-scary: It's not. 'Mosquito' pretty much fails on every level that it could possibly want to be seen. It is watchable, at least. . . but that's about it. If you want to have a few beers and play 'Mystery Science Theatre 3000,' you might have fun. Again, that's about it.Final Verdict: 3.5/10.-AP3-

An enjoyably pulpy, trashy, competently mounted and energetically executed 50's style over-sized killer insect creature feature done with wonderfully sleazoid 90's type gore, nudity, profanity and general self-aware film buff fanaticism. An alien spaceship crashlands in a lake located nearby by a forest summercamp community. Bacteria from the spaceship infects the local mosquitoes and causes them to grow into hideous, butt-ugly, way lethal and voracious gigantic mutants who promptly develop an insatiable appetite for human blood. In short time lots of folks have been sucked dry, leaving the standard collection of mixed bag everyday schmo reluctant protagonists -- a hunky dude and his feisty girlfriend, a rugged, quick-thinking take-charge scientist, a constantly sniveling spineless clod, and a gang of bumbling criminals led by a portly, pony-tailed Gunnar Hansen (Leatherface in the original "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre") -- to destroy the bugs before they multiply and feast on the entire human race.Made on a modest, but well-used spare change budget in Detriot, Michigan, directed with tremendous go-for-it gusto by Gary Jones, acted with comparably infectious aplomb by an enthusiastic cast, with several slam-bang stirring insect attack set pieces (the sequence where an unrelenting swarm of flying mosquitoes attack a speeding camper especially smokes), a tasty plenitude of moist, squishy, blood-spilling and slime-slinging splatter, somewhat variable, but still funky special effects (the giant rubbery insects are really cool), a nice smattering of winningly witty B-movie in-jokes (a TV reporter named Allen Smithee, Gunnar wields a mean chainsaw in one scene, and there's a right-on raunchy send-up of the inevitable "have sex and die" backwoods fright flick cliché), a crackling forward-ho pace and a whole-hearted affection for gleefully junky $1.50 cheeseball horror cinema, "Mosquito" eagerly delivers a handy helping of good, gruesome, delightfully blunt and unpretentious straightahead dimestore monster fun.

I have seen this movie and it is a definite B movie. But I thought it was good for a B. It is pretty cheesy but that is what you come to expect from a B movie. They definitely used some pretty bad actors, but that is a B. You come to expect that. Gunnar was great in this as he was in Texas Chainsaw Massacre. They were both about the same quality of films, but we like those kind of movies once in a while. This is a pretty hard to find movie and I think it is out of print. Not too sure. We are looking for it in DVD format. If anyone knows where we can get it. Please let us know at geneveve@aol.com. I don't want to spend a ton of money, I would like to spend less that 50.00. Let me know. Thanks
