Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaRay Erikson and the character Paul King from Hammerhead: Shark Frenzy (2005) share similarities. They are both mutated monsters from 2005 Syfy original movies who are portrayed by actors in costumes and use minor scenes of CGI.
- GoofsSince only female mosquitoes bite people and drink blood, the creature Ray Eriksson became should not have been feeding on humans. Male mosquitoes feed on plant juices, so maybe the Eriksson creature should have gone around attacking trees.

Featured review
grade-z, sure, but perversely compelling
undoubtedly you've seen the previews on sci-fi which show the sexy scientist tearing off her blouse-- that and the title tell you all you need to know about how cheesy and ridiculous this picture is-- but I hate to admit I found it strangely watchable. Corin Nemec plays a positively Beowulfian cop who tussles repeatedly with the mansquito but somehow survives each time, while(numerous) lesser men and women die within a few tenths of a second of their 'squito encounters. The story hurtles forward at a breathless pace,which is undoubtedly a good thing considering how silly it is. The heroine is also infected by radioactive skeeter juice(hence her need to disrobe(?), and she figures out that Only She can lure Mansquito to his doom...and you can probably guess the rest.
Look: obviously no one watches a teevee movie called "Mansquito!"(it needed an exclamation point, don't you think?) expecting King Lear, unless they have neurological problems or something. Mansquito! is the cinematic equivalent of cheese nachos: you hate to admit you occasionally crave because you know they're nutritional gargbage-- good in a bad way. And gee, I didn't know mosquitos growl.
