Review of Mosquito (1994) by Justin B — 11 Aug 2015

A majority of people have always had fear of mosquitos or just found them plain irritating because of their incessant need to feast on our blood.

I'm a part of that majority and this movie makes the concept that much more terrifying.

The movie has a very good opening and the premise is setup quite plainly.

Just barely 5 min in and two of the main characters are the first to come across the giant-proportioned insects after a road run-in.

This film is a lot funnier than when I first saw it back on the Sci-Fi channel; not really a whole lot of scares going on, the lines and a majority of the effects range from bad to straight-up laughable, not to mention the score is corny as it can get but it's still freaky.

There's a decent number of good kills these things lay waste to.

The budget on this certainly shows but can you blame them?

There are some actual well-written characters here which is a nice save and the situation trying to evade these bloodsuckers makes them more likeable than you'd believe.

This isn't for everyone but creature-horror fanatics' thirst should be quenched.
