Mosquitoman

Mosquitoman (2004): Also marketed as just plain Mosquito, this Buglaria shot film about bugs reminded me a bit of those old ‘The Fly’ movies. In those flicks, Jeff Goldblum or Vincent Price, pick your version; slowly convert into a large fly with antisocial tendencies. In these days of short attention spans, Mosquitoman does all that in about 5 minutes and the rest of the movie has the oversized bug pillaging blood from a large fraction of a cities population, eliminating a large part of the local constabulary and searching for a Mosquitowoman to mate with. Now, unless I’m mistaken about mosquitoes, only the females bite so Mosquitoman has a giant technical flaw because this male has a large capacity for the sucking of the blood. In fact, he makes most vampires seem like Vegans by comparison. He also is never seen rubbing his hind legs together as I believe the little critters around here do on occasion but maybe I’m just being picky.
The movie has the usual money grubbing businessman, cops who don’t appear very effective, monsters with a large appetite, and scientists messing with the wrong DNA groups. While not a really good movie, its blood flinging levels should interest the average gore hound out there. The movie transfused an R for: massive blood sucking, massive blood splatter, massive bullet proofed bug, lack of DDT when you really need it, one mutating ingénue, one biting ingénue, one horny skeeter, and for the elimination of most of the police force by one slightly large bullet proof bug.
