I've only known about Mosquito for a couple of months. When I finally had the chance to pounce on buying the blu-ray from Synapse, pounce I did. One of my main reasons for wanting to add this buggy masterpiece is the fact that one of the main characters is played by horror legend Gunnar Hansen. He is the original Leatherface, and any film that features the man that played my favorite horror icon of all time (next to Jason Voorhees) is something I have to watch. It's imperative. I will say this zits and zombies-I don't think I've seen any other movies directed by Gary Jones, but if I run across any- it's on my list. Immediately. I love the timing, the dialog, cinematography and all the work that went into Mosquito is a true testament to how a real b- horror flick is made. Top notch practical effects here.
Space. The final frontier. Wait. Ugh.
That's how a mosquito is born, huh? Wild.
I wouldn't want to take a dead mosquito with me. Let alone a giant one.
A "guaranteed bug killer" is a great stocking stuffer for Christmas.
Hendricks fogging the entire campground for mosquitoes while there's a bunch of families there is just hysterical.
Zits and zombies- the legendary Gunnar Hansen.
Your directing is superb Gary Jones, but that stop motion is horrid.
Proboscis in the eye!
Is there an actual profession where you can chase literal meteors?
Well, the chief ranger's dead body is certainly disturbing.
This is the worst joke I could possibly write here, but... don't drink the kool-aid. I'm sorry. That was highly inappropriate.
If you have seen Mosquito before, you know why I wrote that line about not drinking kool-aid. If you haven't, it's better if you watch it yourself so as I don't ruin anything more for you than I may or may not have already. You can't go wrong watching a film that involves Gunnar Hansen with a chainsaw, irradiated mosquitoes, a nude woman being basically raped by a mosquito and plenty of dead bodies and gore. This is a film that needs to be preserved by us all. Sucker.
