SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped
MusicChat It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.
ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
Michael O'Keefe A greedy real estate developer(Jay Robinson)plans on turning placid desert into a massive subdivision of a small community. Things get real ugly when a swarm of mosquitos chow down on an illegal toxic waste dump. Sheriff Deputy Roy Boone(Jim Youngs)gets concerned with the mounting body count of citizens and animals. His boss, Sheriff Buckle(Charles Napier)is not too concerned, because he is secretly involved in a shifty business relationship with the corrupt developer. The giant, bloodsucking mosquitos put strain on a sexy coroner(Saxon Trainer)and a respected, but confused scientist(William Sanderson). Special effects are pretty lame. Tracy Griffith plays the winsome love interest of Deputy Boone. And its hard to ignore the town idiot played by Michael J. Pollard. The total sum is SKEETER kind of...sucks!
gridoon I wonder how this film lost its rightful place in IMDB's "bottom 100" list. It is unworthy of the term "horror flick"; it's more of a character drama, which perhaps would be fine if the characters were even remotely interesting, but they are not. As for the special effects, when the mosquitos don't seem to be flying around held by invisible strings, they seem to be literally painted onto the film. "Skeeter" runs only 95 minutes, but they feel like four hours. Not recommended, even to my worst enemy. 0 out of 4.
andy19th This film was just plain BAD. But entertaining to watch, it was hilariously bad in almost every scene.***SPOILER*** The scene where they go into the cave to exterminate the mosquitos is definitely the worst special effects I have ever seen, I was laughing uncontrollably. ***END OF SPOILER***If you want a movie to watch while bored, I recommend this one for a good laugh.
BigMack WARNING: You cannot possibly receive enjoyment from watching this movie! I'm not a very picky viewer and I can usually find enjoyment in the worst of movies, but this movie was atrocious! I cannot find I single good quality about this movie. It's either a horrible attempt at a good movie or a B Horror Movie that went horribly awry. Either way, it's a waste of time and money.
