ShangLuda Admirable film.

Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

GL84 Attempting to cure a deadly disease, a scientists' efforts to release it are stagnated when an escaped convicts' accidental exposure to the cure results in being mutated into a vicious mosquito/human monster and forces her policeman boyfriend to stop his rampage.This one here wasn't all that bad of a cheesy creature feature. Among the better parts here is the fact that this is another film that's inspired by the headlines of the times, as the West Nile virus was a very real threat at that time. The opening stages of the film use the threat nicely and integrate it with the rest of the film since the search to find a cure is a common theme found in similar movies, and the current issue being dealt with is a great way of staying in touch with what's going on. It makes it more than just a simple monster-on-the-loose movie and gives this something that holds it up enough while those particular elements are where this one gets going rather nicely. Though held to a minimum, the film does manage to contain some solid creature interactions here with the different attacks on the lonely victims around the city, the big massacre at the underground sewers and a fine encounter at a closed dance club all being rather enjoyable scenes which is all aided along rather nicely by the incredibly high body-count being disposed of in pretty gory ways. There isn't as much blood-splatter as others, but it's certainly graphic enough in its kills. Though these are fun, the film doesn't get really action-packed until the ending attack in the hospital which has so many fun moments with the creature appearing and taking out the guards outside, the multitude of gunfights with the security forces storming in several different groups and then finally going back into the subway brawl last piece here that is quite action-filled, with lots of deaths, blood and even some stalking scene thrown in for a great finish. Along with the fact that the creature is actually nicely designed as well and scores major points for not being a CGI creation, these here are the film's best parts. There are a few flaws here which mainly consists of the implausibility of the story. There's almost nothing here about the change-over into his becoming a mosquito specifically as there's little here to specify whether the insect was needed here. It seems rather odd why that creature became created, and even more troubling here is how the conception of the creature came about as the fact that the mosquito is the creature becomes rather dubious. As well, there's also the fact that there's a distinct cheapness to it all that really stands out here, from the low-rent transformation effects to the CGI for the creatures' final flying stage and the absolutely lame and mediocre gore effects which are simply bland stabbings or impalings for the part all of which bring up the film's rather cheap look. Otherwise, these are all that's wrong with it.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Language and a clothed sex scene.

abominablebro Mansquito is what it is. It's a cool and imaginative film that is just fun to watch. That's how most B-movies are. It isn't a masterpiece, but it isn't garbage either. I thought the costume was very well made and looked exactly how every mansquito should. This movie is full of blood and gore which looks pretty realistic, especially for a B-movie. The idea of the mansquito wanting to mate with the detective's 'womansquito' girlfriend was intense. The film had a satisfying tragic ending with a thought provoking last narration quote: "In the end I lost everything I ever cared about. The only girl I ever loved died saving us all. But as with every ending... There is always a new beginning." It's deep and makes absolutely perfect sense if you think about it. Mansquito is just a good old fun film.

flashgerling This is an awful film. There is very little that is at all appealing for this movie, but if you are willing to take a film and create a drinking game to it, this has fantastic possibilities. The most interesting part is that the back of the DVD suggests that there is a completely different plot than the film in fact creates. Not even close. There is some crazy killing and highly humorous activity that ends in a highly disappointing way. The only real complaint for a person that is ready for unintentional humor is how we are mislead. This movie is worth watching, but for only the rare few that are willing to take a punch to the mouth and accept the craziness. Watch it with absurd expectations.

krysfamulan ....at least... When I saw the previews for this movie, I was like, "You have GOT to be kidding me!" It was several months before i saw it was on TV and i decided to check it out to see how bad it really was.********Full summary and spoilers below ********OK, there's a widespread disease going on, and its spread by mosquitoes. So there's the all important pharmaceutical company that is trying to make a cure. How? By using radioactive blue goo, they put it in a glass case with infected mosquitoes, with the theory that it was cause their DNA to mutate and develop an anti-virus. Got it so far? Cause the female doctor, Dr. Allen(Muretta Vander) explains it in a few sentences but i had to think about it to get it.Well, enter a death row inmate, Ray (Austin Jordan) under the orders of her evil boss to be a guinea pig. The prisoner breaks out of his cuffs, and takes the Vander's assistant hostage. In an attempt to save her friend, Vander lets the prisoner into the lab, but he shoots the assistant anyway. Then a shoot out blows up the reactor that held the goo and mosquitoes. Blue goo gets everywhere, mostly on the prisoner, but a little bit gets on Allen's arm.Fast forward a bit, the prisoner escapes through the sewers and begins to mutate into a giant 'Mansquito" The two cops on the scene of the lab shootout, Morrison and Randall (Patrick Dreikass, Vander's BF and Corin Nemee) are on the move to capture the escaped prisoner. Detective Morrison takes Dr. Allen home and she has a few moments of examining her arm where the blue goo was. The next day, Dr Allen is picking up blood packs and sees some on her glove and before she can stop herself, licks it up. She stops and reflects for a moment, but is interrupted by her boss. Her drunk boss accuses Dr. Allen of wrecking the company and after she storms out, he becomes dinner. Randall takes Allen out to dinner and but doesn't notice a few quirky things. She orders her steak very rare, is constantly sniffing the flower in her drink, adds a ton of sugar to her coffee. On the way out, she smells something appealing, and we cut to a shot of mutant Ray hiding in the bushes.Obviously they didn't have an entomologist on staff, since male mosquitoes are the ones that love fruit and flowers, while the females suck blood.Mutant Ray continues his rampage as he goes through a shacktown. Meanwhile Dr Allen is consuming chocolate and sugar. Her sex drive increases too, and her detective boyfriend is all to eager to oblige. She scratches him and starts to suck his blood but fortunately the phone rings. She's appalled at herself and vomits once Randall leaves.Randall investigates the shacktown and meets up with the mutant Ray. Gun doesn't work, hitting him doesn't work, but guess what, a TASER scare him away. He then make the connection that the explosion altered Ray's DNA. Charlie of course doesn't believe him, and Randall goes to see Allen for advice. Allen meanwhile examines her blood under a scope and sees it mutating. She flips out a bit, but then sees Mutant Ray, who somehow got into the lab. She pulls back from him but as he gets closer she gets a whiff of him and for a moment is turned on, and then faints. Randall comes in, and finds Allen starting to change. He rushes her to the hospital while Mutant Ray follows. Cue the entrance of more snacks, I mean cops, and more carnage ensues as Mutant Ray fights his way in. SWAT team, security guards, even poor Charlie, is part of the carnage. Allen manages to grab her clothes and escape. Randall searches the hospital and comes upon the lone female security guard that managed to escape. He walks in on Mansquito hoarding the bloodbank, and fights a grenade at the nearby oxygen tanks, ('Hey, Mansquito!!!), causing a big explosion.Is it all over? Big explosions normally signal the end of horror movies. But Randall staggers up from the wreckage looking for Allen, and he rushes off to the lab. Meanwhile, Mansquito also rises. Allen is still in pain and is watching herself transform. She picks up a glass case of mosquitos, supposedly the ones with the cure; takes them to the roof and opens the case. She heads back to the lab and draws up a syringe of poison. Randall stops her from killing herself as Mansquito burts in. He proceeds to beat the crap out of Randall, when Allen lets out a loud alienlike scream. (Mosquitos scream?) That gets Mansquito's attention and she escapes out through the sewers, then attacks Mansquito with a pipe. Randall jumps on Mansquito and uses the taser again but is thrown off. . Allen has mosquito strength now, and fights him. He tries to fly away, but she grabs him. She yanks out a power cord and electrocutes both of them. Cut to Randall writing up to a report, and there's a news broadcast on about how the virus had seemingly disappeared. We hear in voice-over how he lose everything he cared about, but with every end there is a new beginning and we fade to black.Not too bad, but not the greatest. Not bad for a lazy afternoon or evening or if you're all alone and have nothing to do. Lot of plot holes, and a VERY lame ending but what can you expect from a movie with this name? Just knowing that only female mosquitos suck blood blows the whole concept of the movie. Funfor a laugh, or for you and your buddies having a bad horror movie fest. 5/10
