Mosquito

1994 · 92 min

A goofy, gory creature-feature romp that plays its bug attacks for laughs as much as screams, best enjoyed with friends and low expectations.

Tagline
Millions Of Years Of Evolution Have Just Become Mankind's Worst Nightmare.
Overview
An alien starship crashes in a swamp in a U.S. National Park. Some mosquitos begin to feed from the alien's corpses, causing them to grow to the size of a vulture. These mutant insects became very agressive, killing every human being they find. Will the few survivors fight successfully against this nightmare...?
