Mosquito Man
Police lieutenant detective Thomas 'Thom' Randall's steady girl-friend, Dr. Jennifer 'Jen' Allen, is Dr. Aaron Michaels's main assistant on his pharmaceutical firm Bellion's research program to cure the highly contagious, fatal infection Guinin. A convicted murderer, whom Thom arrested, is one of their special drug test subjects, but escapes. The convict and Jen are affected by radioactively altered DNA from an experimental reactor used on mosquitoes which transfer quinine. The convict soon mutates into a mosquito-like monster, which sucks its victims dry. By the time Thom and his junior murder brigade partner Charlie Morrison figure out what happens, Jen starts mutating herself.
A low-budget creature feature that blends sci-fi mutation with mosquito-borne terror, delivering campy thrills for fans of practical effects and B-movie charm.
- Practical gore and creature design lean into the 2000s DTV creature craze with earnest DIY spirit.
- Mutation horror meets infectious disease anxieties—early 2000s genre riffing on viral outbreak fears.
- Not slick, but earnest performances and a straightforward detective plot keep it watchable for monster movie completists.
- Ideal for viewers who appreciate schlocky, creature-centric horror over polished studio scares.
