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.
