For a movie called Skeeter this was one dull melodramatic snoozefest. 

Mosquitoes the size of small cats are terrorizing a small southern town. But forget about that, what you really wanna see is the love lives and trials and tribulations of the country folk. Right? Yeah me neither.

There are like ten different subplots in this movie and all of them uninteresting. Corrupt police, corrupt land developers, the sheriffs budding romance, an oldtimer refusing to give up his land, it's just so boring! Where are the damn mosquitoes!?

When they do appear on screen, the effects would make Bert I. Gordon blush. The 1994's Mosquito blows this out of the park with entertaining animatronics and well done stop-motion.

Bad effects mixed with a terribly boring plot makes this one a definite pass. Watch Mosquito instead.

I have this on a dvd back with Xtro and Xtro 2 so naturally I’d be down to watch a movie called Skeeter.... For pure Skeeter-sploitation, stick with Mosquito.

Those skeeters had real potential! A campy crazy look to them, plus the title and poster had me feeling like I might’ve stumbled across another bug gem. Unfortunately though, this wasn’t it. It’s got plenty of character, but that’s really it. It needs more skeeter action and better pacing, I found myself buzzing off on multiple occasions. It took some force to sit through, but it’s not without its own charming campy moments. Just far from the most entertaining bug horrors I’ve swatted at.

Unforgivably skimps on the skeeters, and is instead something more akin to my faded memories of what Walker, Texas Ranger episodes were like in 1994 - but with occasional mutant mosquito scenes so it kind of won me back over in the end

As many who follow and know me, I have a huge fondness for mid to low budget 90’s genre films, So I had to get around to watching this eventually.

It’s far from the best of these, but after Scream 7, this was a more than welcome palette cleanser. It’s a strange mix of scenes that feel like they came from a Brian Adams music video and a very schlocky mutant killer mosquito terrorizing colorful country locals that is never really anything “good”, but still amusing. I do wish the mosquitoes looked cooler than they do though. 

In the end, this was an amusing enough though I’ve seen more entertaining 90’s schlock. Still worth a try.

Day 18. Watch any horror film featuring George Buck Flower.

I'll admit it I was pulled in by that lovely slavering cover. What girl could resist?

Boon has been making a lot of official calls. Bless his open shirt, no helmet wearing ways!

The mosquito's look good massive. Or is it the 4th measure of Jack Daniels. Killer Ducks, or Vampire bats! Whatever they had better fighting techniques than anyone in this film.

If you're gonna make a film about giant, mutant mosquitos, you should at least make it fun. Not even Melanie Griffith's hot sister could save this one. I'd recommend the far superior "Mosquito", which was made a couple of years after this. At least it knows what it's supposed to be.

The flies look more like giant mosquitoes, are VERY poorly made and appear little in the film. Most of the movie is wasted on fruitless conversations among the local rednecks, in a vain attempt by the director to arouse viewers' interest in their boring dramas and lives.
