Movie Reviews of Mosquito
Movie Review: Break Out the Bug Spray! They're HERE!
Summary: 5 Stars
A true classic of modern bad horror, "Mosquito' will send you scrambling for the Raid and the popcorn at the same time! Enjoy the masterful special effects, breath-taking cinematography, and riveting performances...ok, so perhaps that's not EXACTLY accurate.... this is still more fun than a barrelful of mosquito wrigglers on a hot afternoon.
Summary of Mosquito
Millions of years of evolution have just become mankind's worst nightmare. In the terrifying tradition of "Alien" and "Predator" comes "Mosquito," a spine tingling tale of an alien force that transforms tiny insects into monstrous mutants with a lust for human blood. Sci Fi master Andre Blay presents nature's most horrifying thriller!Get the Deep-Woods Off! It's a mosquito the size of a German shepherd, armed with a proboscis as big around as a carrot, which it jabs into various eye sockets, chests, thighs, and even butt-cheeks! When a UFO crashes into a swamp, swarms of these mutated, oversized bugs go out looking for victims. A hapless couple smacks one of the outsized insects (filled with what appears to be stewed tomatoes and cranberry sauce) with their car, disabling the auto and leaving them stranded. They soon hook up with a government scientist, run afoul of two half-wit militia types, commandeer an RV, and make a break for it. The uneasy allies eventually make it to a farmhouse where they board up the windows ? la Night of the Living Dead (or Assault on Precinct?13) to make a last stand against the marauding bloodsuckers. If it all sounds goofy, that's because it is. On the downside, the dialogue is rotten and the acting is all rather casual (except for the scientist, whose overacting makes up for the rest of the cast's slack performances). On the upside, there's no cheesy computer animation; it's all done with cheesy '60s-style miniatures and puppets instead. Horror fans will recognize Gunnar Hansen, Texas Chainsaw Massacre's Leatherface; he's even given a chance to do battle with the bloodthirsty bugs with his old weapon of choice, a 24-inch Homelite! Also, rock fans should notice Stooges guitarist Ron Asheton! Just don't take this big-bug saga too seriously (nobody involved does), keep an eye out for boom-mic shadows, shut down a few sections of your brain, and go with it. After all, this is the kind of movie that would have made it big on the drive-in circuit some 30?years ago. --Jerry Renshaw
