Mansquito starts as we learn that a deadly virus spread by mosquito's is claiming 1000's of victims across America, scientist's Dr. Aaron Michaels (Jay Benedict) & Dr. Jennifer Allen (Musetta Vander) are trying to create a mosquito which will mate with normal mosquito's & eradicate the virus or something like that. Convicted mass murderer Ray Erikson (Austin Jordan) has enrolled in a medical research program where he lets people like Michaels do stuff to him for a lighter sentence, however en-route to Michaels lab Ray manages to steal a cops gun & in the following gunfight a special reactor in the lab blows up & covers Ray in some slimy blue DNA altered gunk which has the unwanted side effect of turning him into a grotesque 7 foot tall half man/half mosquito creature who needs to drink a lot of blood to survive. Lieutenant Tom Randall (Corin Nemec) is on the case as the Mansquito drinks dry everyone it meets...Also known as MosquitoMan yes folks here we have yet another Nu Image creature feature that they seem to have an endless conveyor belt of, the one surprising thing about Mansquito is that I didn't think it was half bad & a lot better than just about any other Nu Image creature feature I can think of right now. Directed by Tibor Takacs Mansquito is a throwback to the giant bug flicks from the 50's & 60's with added gore & CGI, the script by Michael Hurst & it's title character also bear more than a passing resemblance to The Fly (1986). The usual Nu Image creature feature plot points & clichés are here, genetic scientists experiments create mutant creature, cop tries to track creature down, creature kills lots of unimportant character's & causes general mayhem. However Mansquito manages to stand out as a fairly fun monster on the loose type flick & it also has the added bonus of lots of gore along with a very high body count which Nu Image films usually lack. The makers obviously didn't do much research as male Mosquito's can't suck blood & I don't understand what Ray was going to used for or what the scientists were trying to achieve in their experiments but did you expect common sense & realism from a horror flick called Mansquito? No, neither did I so just sit back & enjoy it for what it is, a simple by-the-numbers yet effective & fun creature feature with some neat gore.Director Takacs does OK, the film looks nice enough & he keeps things moving along at a reasonable pace. While most Nu Image films use awful CGI computer effects Mansquito pleasingly uses traditional prosthetic & animatronic make-up effects for it's title character & the many gory killings which I'll give the film an extra star for regardless. Actual on set physical effects look so much better than cheap CGI, sure the effects here aren't brilliant but the man in a rubber monster suit still looks better & it's as simple & straight forward as that. When the time comes for the makers to use CGI when Mansquito decides to fly it looks OK. As you would expect there are lots of running around in the dark while Mansquito stalks it's prey & there's a cool hospital massacre sequence at the end. Ther are numerous attack scenes all of which contain fair amounts of blood, there's the usual assortment of dead bodies in various states of mutilation, there's severed limbs, there are shoot outs, someones head is stamped on by Mansquito & splits open & a great scene when someone has half their head diagonally sliced off by Mansquito's razor arm. Luckily the makers weren't afraid to use the fake blood blood either, during the hospital massacre is looks like someone spray painted the walls with the stuff!With a supposed budget of about $5,000,000 the reason why Mansquito is better looking, gorier & more impressive than most Nu Image creature features is because it had a bigger budget then most Nu Image creature features & to be fair to it it shows. It's quite well made with decent production values. The acting isn't great from a cast virtual unknowns, unknown to me anyway.Mansquito isn't the best film in the world, it isn't even the best creature feature in the world by I thought it was entertaining enough in it's own right & passed 90 odd minutes harmlessly enough. Nu Image isn't known for the quality of their films so the fact Mansquito is actually quiet good is an achievement in itself, fans should definitely check this one out as it's one of their best in my opinion.

You don't have to watch Mosquito Man to know that it takes heavy influence from David Cronenberg's classic film 'The Fly', but I liked said film a lot and so decided that I would be happy if this film merely offered a fun retelling of it. I'm pleased to say that while Mosquito Man is silly and redundant, it is at least lots of fun and therefore offers enough as far as I'm concerned. I have to admit that I find insects fascinating, and this is a good thing given how many insect related horror films there are to choose from. Mosquito's don't really interest me, and the film doesn't really delve into their life cycle much...but luckily, it doesn't really matter. The film bases its plot on the idea of a virus that is working its way through the human population. A couple of scientists have found some sort of cure involving mosquitoes, but this backfires when a convict set to be used as a guinea pig escapes and causes an accident in the facility. His DNA is then merged with the mosquito DNA and he becomes, you guessed it, a human-mosquito hybrid with a mission to mate with the female scientist who has suffered the same unfortunate fate.Director Tibor Takács made a minor splash back in the eighties with cult hits The Gate and I, Madman. This film is unlikely to remembered with the same affection as the latter two films, but it features the same kind of nonsense, yet well worked plot line. The special effects are important in a film like this, and despite being a film that is unlikely to ever amount to anything - Mosquito Man does feature great special effects. The central monster looks cool enough, and this is matched by some great gory scenes that will please anyone with a mind to see it. As mentioned, the plot doesn't delve very deep but it does at least focus on the important elements and remains interesting for the duration. The acting is surprisingly decent also, with the hot Musetta Vander providing the eye candy (both for the audience and for the title monster), while Corin Nemec is good in the opposite role. It's not hard to guess where it's going at any point, but the film races towards the inevitable conclusion with style, and the director chucks in a nice gore sequence every time things start to dry up. Overall, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this trash to anyone looking for a fun flick, and it's nowhere near as bad as it could have been.

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.

Some decent special effects and acting make this a pretty good movie. I have been absolutely disgusted with 90% of the SciFi channel movies, like most sci fi fans on this board. Mansquito is the first one I have been able to watch for a long time. Not great, but entertaining, and with a title like Mansquito, a nice surprise. I actually tuned in to see how bad it was. Let's just say Mansquito benefits from diminished expectations.I don't like sci fi movies in which you don't see the monster until the end. Mansquito shows the monster a lot and it is pretty ugly. The female lead gets pretty nasty too as she is in the first stages of becoming Womansquito. There are some pretty gory and violent combat scenes between police and the monster. Overall pretty satisfying.I hope SciFi keeps improving because their movies have been terrible. Mansquito is a worthy effort. 5/10 If you're like me, you have a basic
