Mosquito (1994) is a movie that I recently watched on Prime. The storyline follows an alien vessel crashing on planet Earth that kills the aliens and an ooze seeps into a swamp. A few mosquitos absorb the ooze and consume the aliens turning them into unstoppable killing machines. Can anyone stop them?

This movie is directed by Gary Jones (Spiders) and stars Gunnar Hansen (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre), Ron Asheton (Smokin' Aces), Steve Dixon (Legion of the Night), Tim Lovelace (High Crimes) and John Reneaud (Stardust).

This is a classic bad 90s horror movie with terrible writing and dialogue and a weird soundtrack. The mosquitos and special effects for them aren't great but is far from the worst part of the movie. The mosquitos are huge and make you laugh. There's no real worthwhile character to root for so I found myself rooting for the mosquitos.

Overall, this film has poor writing and no real redeeming aspects. I would score this movie a 4/10 and only recommend it if you're looking for a worthwhile bad movie.

This is a film for people who, like me, have seen the art in really poor film-making. Some films really do make an art form of the tacky storyline and cheesy script....this is a classic of the genre. It is full of humorous references for the true horror junkie and doesn't pretend to be anything it isn't. A film like this could go two ways...it could either try to take itself seriously and unless masterfully achieved it'll fall flat on its face, or it can step back and take a good, long, honest look at what its really got going for it and try to pull it off with its tongue firmly in its cheek. With a little more audacity some of the deaths could have achieved cult status (one certainly springs to mind)...but hey, with such a vast array of acting talent (Gunnar Hansen of Texas Chainsaw fame being the shining light, and Steve Dixon as Parks also doing an admirable job) and plenty of hillbilly gags, the obligatory pervert-cum-hero this is a must watch for the truly awful film fan...if you liked this watch mutator; awful film, great deaths.

I am torn on this movie but mostly leaning towards the side of loving it. The problem is the main reasons I love it are completely subjective, so I feel that I must still give an accurate technical rating of the movie.

I love this movie mainly because I remember seeing it many many times as a kid. In fact there was a time when my family and I would visit my grandma's house for a weekend at least once or twice a month and I would always sleep on the couch out in the main room, which meant I could watch tv until late. And for about a year, it seemed that every time we went, this movie was on cable as the late night movie, so I saw it probably about 15 times. I was young and so I wasn't really familiar with a lot of similar horror b films. At the time I remember thinking this was actually a serious scary film and not a campy b horror.

Years later now, I remembered the movie and wanted to see if I could find a copy of it. So I researched and got one and rewatched it. At first I thought this had to be a different film. The campiness of some of the park rangers reminded me of Wes Craven's "I Spit On Your Grave". But then quickly came in some of the really bad special effects and I knew this was the film I remembered.

So what does the film have going for it? Well it is definitely in the realm of those so bad its funny films. Although the movie does actually appear to attempt some humor which fails miserably. I think for me the best parts are the special effects, because they are so over the top and fake, yet also somewhat terrifying. I would say that all in all, the film feels like a homage to early zombie films both in its plot and special effects. Its definitely a film that anyone can sit down and enjoy for an evening if they just want something laugh at and be entertained by for an hour or two.
