mrush So I've pretty much gave up on believing the DVD boxes at the rental store,especially the horror ones.They promise scares and terror and end up leaving you feeling mad and ripped off.But the box for this one didn't even promise much.I guess with a name like "Mosquito Man" there ain't no use in pretending you're gonna be good.But I didn't care about the read on the box.I thought maybe we would go old school,back to the 80's in horror,when all the rage was some big cool looking monster,like Rawhead Rex or Pumpkinhead.OK,first off this movie is nothing but a blatant rip-off of "The Fly" but without the cool gore or anything else that made "The Fly" at least watchable.When an experiment to save the world from some mosquito carried virus goes wrong a guy is mutated into a giant mosquito.Really.So he kills people by sucking them dry of blood .A cop decides that the dead bodies turning up around town aren't being killed by your average wacko and the cop is determined to find what is killing all these folks.The acting is bad.The plot is worse.Some of the special effects were decent.But the Mosquito itself looked really cheesy at times,actually all the time, but sometimes it looked worse than others.Stupid ,plodding and nothing cool here at all.The only saving grace was that it was a fairly short movie.No nudity and very little cursing for some reason.The most cursing was from me, I suppose, at having been disappointed again by yet another cruddy horror movie.Don't rent this mess.Even if you could see it for free it would still be a rip-off.

lastliberal OK, I am consumed with Christa Campbell. I have read and reread this month's Playboy feature on her. OK, I mainly looked at the pictures. I even ran down to get Scars when it came out to see her one picture in it. She is a MySpace friend and I cannot wait until her new film is out on DVD next month and the 2001 Maniacs sequel comes out next year.I am so obsessed that i would watch this movie just to catch a glimpse at her. But, I stuck with it until the end because it was interesting. I do live in Florida, so I thought I might get a tip on how to kill mosquitoes. No, the bug zapper doesn't work in real life.I did get to see three things: One of the most ugly creatures I have ever seen in a horror movie - I mean I hate those things at actual size, why would anyone want to see one seven foot tall. Ugh! Two, they used buckets of blood in this film. There was some real carnage in the hospital scenes. You were totally unprepared as the prior scenes were relatively mild.And, three, Musetta Vander is hot. She was a siren in O Brother, Where Art Thou?, but I didn't know here name. She has only been in two other pieces of crap that I have seen, so I didn't really notice her as I was retching.Not a great movie, but not a total waste either.

flashgerling This is an awful film. There is very little that is at all appealing for this movie, but if you are willing to take a film and create a drinking game to it, this has fantastic possibilities. The most interesting part is that the back of the DVD suggests that there is a completely different plot than the film in fact creates. Not even close. There is some crazy killing and highly humorous activity that ends in a highly disappointing way. The only real complaint for a person that is ready for unintentional humor is how we are mislead. This movie is worth watching, but for only the rare few that are willing to take a punch to the mouth and accept the craziness. Watch it with absurd expectations.

gsh999 Some decent special effects and acting make this a pretty good movie. I have been absolutely disgusted with 90% of the SciFi channel movies, like most sci fi fans on this board. Mansquito is the first one I have been able to watch for a long time. Not great, but entertaining, and with a title like Mansquito, a nice surprise. I actually tuned in to see how bad it was. Let's just say Mansquito benefits from diminished expectations.I don't like sci fi movies in which you don't see the monster until the end. Mansquito shows the monster a lot and it is pretty ugly. The female lead gets pretty nasty too as she is in the first stages of becoming Womansquito. There are some pretty gory and violent combat scenes between police and the monster. Overall pretty satisfying.I hope SciFi keeps improving because their movies have been terrible. Mansquito is a worthy effort. 5/10 If you're like me, you have a basic
