Asher L This movie is a beautiful disaster, I don't know if it's just the age or the budget but the effects are not convincing at all, buckets of fake blood and a Nickelodeon amount of goo. The acting is rough to say the least, but it's hilarious. If you're watching this movie to be scared, you'll be disappointed, if you're watching to have a good time get the popcorn and get ready for laughs, this is the benchmark for "so bad it's good." Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/12/23 Full Review Audience Member The acting and a lot of the effects are abysmal, but it's a stupid giant monster B-movie, what more can you expect? The fact that you can tell everyone involved loves it and are having a good time goes a long way. It's ridiculous, but it can be fun, and has some really funny moments. Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/27/21 Full Review brendan n Mosquito was a film recommended to me by some of my Z grade horror loving friends. This has to be the worst film I have seen in 2020. The film-making was home quality and each setup was nearly worse than the one before. I understand the film was low budget but if you compare it to something like Evil Dead you'll understand my comments. The low budget just means you need to be creative elsewhere. I tried to leave my mind at the door but this grew progressive worse as it went along. The characters were one dimensional and the dialogue was hilariously bad. I understand the film has its fans out there, but sadly I won't be one of them. This lacked a coherent idea and that ending offered very little. 26/09/2020 Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Guaranteed better than the same sort of thing released in the current era, but Mosquito was still not a win in my eyes. The acting was abysmal and the creatures themselves were hit and miss. Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Ginormous skeeters attack campers in this cheesy horror flick. The bugs enlarge after feeding upon illegal aliens from outer space and are made very hard to kill. The effects are often better than what you'd expect in a film of this caliber, but the acting is drab with jokes falling flat b/c of poor delivery. Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member Mosquito tends to be a fun watch, but the bland characters and force dialog do reveal it's not quite a piece of work. Many of the effects are great, though campy at times, but the rest of the effects are a bit bad. There are plenty of fun moments, similarities with other horror films, and all of your favorite horror tropes. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Read all reviews
