When a money-hungry real estate developer starts carelessly disposing of massive amounts of toxic waste in old mines, the consequences are both unexpected and disastrous. The chemicals cause the local mosquito population to morph into giant, terrifying beasts that are thirsty for human blood. It is up to local sheriff Roy Boone (Jim Youngs) and his girlfriend, Sarah (Tracy Griffith), to come up with a way to stop the killer bugs before it is too late.

At the heart of the film's failure are poor pacing, pitiful acting, lazy storytelling, and hopelessly flimsy mosquito props.

Rated: 1/10

Either has no idea how to implement its title monsters, or just doesn't want to...

This is a poor man's Mosquito. Being an avid B lover I went into this with huge laugh expectations. There were a few here and there but not enough to make it memorable. If you are looking for a 5 star insect B then go for the 1995 masterpiece Mosquito. That will have you dying of laughter/

This movie is amusingly bad. First, the movie is more of a bad soap opera with infrequent appearances by mutant mosquitoes than a horror movie. Second, the first hour or so of the movie is spent developing (I use the term loosely) characters that have nothing to do with the story, and establishing vague plot points that are never expanded upon or resolved. Third, the mosquitoes looked so realistic... NOT!! I can muster two and half stars because 1) some of the dialogue and/or delivery was laugh-inducingly horrible, 2) the scenery was pretty, and 3) their half-assed attempt at showing a mosquito pupa (read: an obviously plastic adult inside a clear sac) highly amused me. This is a decent movie to sit around with friends and poke fun at (or play drinking games to), but even if you're seeking that type of movie, you could do better.
