SKEETER (1993)

[The Burgomaster]

This DVD is part of a 3-movie set with XTRO and XTRO II.

In a plot that has been the basis for about 1,000 other movies, toxic waste creates giant mosquitoes!

Hey, any movie that features both Charles Napier and (yeesh) Michael J. Pollard is at lerast worthy of a partial viewing.  I sat through the whole thing.

So, anyway, these big, rubbery-looking mosquitoes fly around (actually, they look like someone off screen is dangling them on wires) and attack animals and humans.  A few human corpses lie around in the desert for several days before being discovered, yet, when they send the bodies to the morgue and cover them with sheets, the sheets end up with big, wet bloodstains on them (didn't anyone ever hear of coagulation?)

My favorite part is when a deputy named Roy Boone loses his temper when he finds out his girlfriend was abandoned in a cave full of mutant mosquitoes.  Boone loses his cool and starts yelling, "You left her there?"  Then, instead of going straight to the cave to rescue her, he drives home and welds together a home made flamethrower.

This is a (mostly dull) sci-fi time waster.  View at your own risk.

I kind of liked that one.  Good fun, the usual predictable stuff.  Kind of oddball in its way.  I'd have to declare it my favorite giant killer mosquito movie

I think mosquitos inject an anti-coagulant when they bite. That would be a good DVD extra feature, an entomologist claiming all these details were really realistic.

If this is the one I'm thinking off,I first saw it during one of Sci-Fi channel's movie marathons.  Decent for a low budget monster movie.
