I love this movie so much

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

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.

Director Tibor Takács has had a very inconsistent career. He has directed some good movies ("The Gate", "I, Madman", and "Sabotage"), but he has also made some real stinkers ("Lies And Illusions", "The Gate 2", and "The Black Hole". Unfortunately, "Mansquito" falls into the latter category. Not everything about it is awful - for a production that was reportedly made for just $5 million, it looks very nice. The cinematography is good, the movie manages to disguise the Bulgarian locations as American, and the creature of the movie uses a pretty impressive looking rubber suit instead of CGI. However, as good looking as the movie is, it doesn't prevent the movie from becoming a big bore. The first half of the movie doesn't emphasize the monster that much, instead focusing more on the boring human characters and their boring dialogue. And when the movie does start showcasing the monster more in the second half, it comes across as very tiresome and nothing we haven't seen before. The movie seems inspired by 1950s monster movies, but this update simply forgets to keep the "fun" factor those old movies often had.

"Mansquito" is a SciFi Channel Original derived from some of the old '50s giant insect movies, but given a 21st century makeover. As far as SciFi Originals go, it's not bad (relatively speaking, of course). But it's kind of silly that the escaped convict morphs into a giant mosquito in about 90 seconds, yet it takes the lady scientist about a half-hour to make the same transformation. From a purely selfish standpoint, the convict's ex-girlfriend (whom he kills right after his metamorphosis) would have made a much better-looking heroine than the scientist, too. And it's a little odd that the Mansquito spouts tiny wings about halfway through the movie, and the wings are somehow powerful enough to allow him to fly like a champ. But the movie has some good action scenes and gore, and it's certainly better than previous killer-mosquito movies "Skeeter" and "Mosquito." Overall, neither a great movie nor a "so-bad-it's-good" movie, but if you have nothing better to do...

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.
