hyped garbage

best movie i've ever seen.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

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!

When first told that we would be watching "Skeeter" for our nightly movie-fest, my first reaction was "Oh great, Not another lame low budget horror flick that stars some no name actor and some other leading lady with big breasts and well you know how it goes". Sorry not going to happen with this film my friend! Skeeter had me on the edge of my seat. I was horrified to think that this could really happen. Our government is hauling things up and down our highways every day that could easily morph your average mosquito or scorpion into a huge, human devouring beast. I think Skeeter should be used as an example and shown throughout the world, that if we dont start to take care of our environment, were going to have huge skeeters flying about sucking our life force. Bottom line, if you want to be scared to death, watch this movie.

CONTAINS SPOILERSThis movie really isn't as bad as what some people say. Granted, the acting is nothing special, and the plot isn't very creative, but I did like it a little bit. The most suspenseful part of the whole movie had to be the guy who was killed while he was with his teenage daughter. Still, you can't really get beyond the terrible cliches that riddle this movie: The concerned scientist who notices that something is wrong before everybody else does (but doesn't know exactly what is going on). The sheriff (or mayor or stubborn scientist, it doesn't really matter) who gets in the way of our heroes. The fact that it happens in a desert town. The fact that nobody knows anything bad is happening until three-quarters of the way through. Also, I couldn't get over the urban sprawl subplot. If you're going to convince me that everything is being developed, don't show wide open spaces everywhere.The final scene was downright awful. And why the heck was there no conclusion to the guy with the museum?Still, there were some good things about it. Quantum leaps of logic, such as the scientist who reaches in and grabs one of the mosquito larvae, are some of my favorite. I also enjoyed the mosquitoes in the cave that were obviously animated on top of the film. However, my favorite part has to be the fact that the mosquitoes kill the bad guys even more than the good guys. Even if there is a good guy three feet away, the mosquitoes will all attack the one bad guy, allowing our heroes to run away.There's also a villainy developer who is so obviously the bad guy, all he needs is a cape and a mustache to twirl his finger around. All in all, this was not a horribly terrible movie. If you enjoy making fun of these movies, see it.

This was such a bad movie... I mean, bad. It's two redeeming qualities are: 1) Now when someone asks me "What's the worse movie you have ever seen?" I will have a suitable reply. 2) It was mildly entertaining to see a movie that uses the kind of giant plastic bugs that you can buy at dollar stores... how often do you see that? It looks like it might have been trying to be "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes" meets "Arachnophobia," but it unfortunately only managed to be "my 10 year old son meets cam-corder..." and, come to think of it, he would have done a better job. I mean... gargle afterward.Yech.
