Mansquito

Yawn.  Very similar premise as The Fly.  But instead of the fly DNA being altered in a matter transporter, the mosquito DNA was altered by radiation.

 

An inmate sentenced to death row, waved certain rights to become a test subject at Bellion Pharmaceuticals.  There, Dr. Jennifer is trying to come up with a cure for a virus that is being transmitted via mosquitoes.  The inmate gets loose, makes his way into the lab, shots are fired, and there is a radiation explosion.  The inmate gets most of the radiation and transforms into Mansquito rather quickly.

 

He begins to feed on people around him.  Nobody is safe.  Not even an ex-girlfriend of his.  Several people at a club, some bums in an underground tunnel.  The victims just keep piling up.

 

Meanwhile, Dr. Jenny who didn't show any initial signs of being infected, now starts to have mosquito-like tendencies.  Lots of carnage later, she ends up in the tunnel system with Mansquito and they are electrocuted.  Sorry to give away the ending.

 

There are a few good kill scenes in the movie, but they do not happen until the end.  One guy gets the top of his head sliced off.  And there are several fountains of blood that were formerly police officers.

 

Anytime you can get someone to put on a ridiculous insect costume, you are in for a treat.

 

I give this movie 1 1/2 out of 5 radiation labs.
