Synopsis

Police lieutenant detective Thomas 'Thom' Randall's steady girl-friend, Dr. Jennifer 'Jen' Allen, is Dr. Aaron Michaels's main assistant on his pharmaceutical firm Bellion's research program to cure the highly contagious, fatal infection Guinin. A convicted murderer, whom Thom arrested, is one of their special drug test subjects, but escapes. The convict and Jen are affected by radioactively altered DNA from an experimental reactor used on mosquitoes which transfer quinine. The convict soon mutates into a mosquito-like monster, which sucks its victims dry. By the time Thom and his junior murder brigade partner Charlie Morrison figure out what happens, Jen starts mutating herself.

Rijndri Load of rubbish!!
Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.
Stoutor It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
Woodyanders A convicted killer gets exposed to an experimental serum that causes him to mutate into a lethal and predatory humanoid mosquito mutant that goes on a bloodthirsty rampage. Director Tibor Takacs keeps the entertainingly inane story moving along at a brisk place, stages the attack scenes with flair, delivers a few nice bits of gore, and, best of all, treats the gloriously ludicrous premise with jaw-dropping seriousness. Corin Nemec plays the rugged detective hero with admirable sincerity. The foxy Musetta Vander likewise does well as the infected Dr. Jennifer Allen. While the cheap and chintzy (not so) special CGI effects leave something to be desired, the funky guy-in-a-rubber-suit monster possess a certain gnarly old school practical appeal. Kudos are also in order for Emil Topuzov's slick cinematography and the rousing score by Joseph Conlan and Sophie Morizet. A fun little Grade B beast bash.
TheLittleSongbird Mansquito(or Mosquito Man) was a little better than I expected, but that's not saying much. It is surprisingly not bad on a visual front, with good photography and nice locations, and the music at times was spookily atmospheric. Plus the ending was the best part of the film, very effective. What let Mansquito down though was a fair number of things. I have seen worse special effects, but they are still rather cheap and not very well-utilised with the mosquitoes not menacing enough. The script is of the cheesy and stilted kind and the story apart from some spark at the end never really engaged me, coming across as dull, predictable and especially with the male mosquitoes ridiculous. I probably would have had a stronger impression of Mansquito if the beginning had been promising, but viewing so many obvious mistakes in one scene really hindered that. The characters didn't come across as very likable either, not as stereotypical as I have seen characters other movies of the genre before but annoying and underdeveloped, and the acting is really quite poor. Overall, could've been much worse, but Mansquito bugged me too much for me to properly enjoy it. 4/10 Bethany Cox
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.
tonopah6 Musetta Vander … a sexy b*tch, given the right circumstances. Early in this movie she did not display her sexiness; her character's education (as a scientist) showed a too conservative appearance. True, some educated women can be sexy, but Musetta needed to let her hair down, and to have worn some black-rimmed glasses. While she was working, a convict who was scheming to voluntarily give his services as a subject for a reduced sentence, made an escape attempt. He was successful, but not without consequences, because damaged containers in the laboratory (the section he fled to - the section with Musetta) infected him with toxins. Musetta received a smaller portion of the toxin, and the convict got the brunt of the mess; which soon changed him into a mosquito. Then the hunt was on, and Musetta's boyfriend (conveniently being a detective) was on the case. While Musetta was back working on her project she then let her hair down; and also began experiencing problems with her health. She was undergoing changes into her own mosquito mutation; eventually getting feverish, which fortunately showed a scene where she was wearing red bra and panties - sweating - looking good in that situation. But she did not mutate fully and begin seeking out some mansquito wanger; she only had had a smaller infection compared to the ridiculously powerful mansquito. Big as it was, bullets still should have killed it; but not only did it deflect bullets, it was able to survive a blast that knocked out a hospital floor. Nevertheless, the detective eventually jumped onto the mansquito's back and started to zap it with his stun gun, with the image in mind of his backyard bug killer device. But that did give Musetta (now showing more signs of mutation) an idea, and that lead to the destruction of the pesky bug. Hey, there are a thousand worse movies, so this is okay; and better still, if you're in an alcoholic state and seeing it without commercials.
