The premise

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...?

Horror Vault's take

When an alien spacecraft crashes in a remote swamp, local mosquitoes feed on the extraterrestrial remains and balloon to terrifying, vulture-sized predators with an insatiable hunger for human blood. A small group of park visitors and rangers find themselves trapped in the wilderness as the mutant swarm closes in. Part creature feature, part campy splatterfest, Mosquito leans hard into its B-movie charm while delivering surprisingly gnarly practical effects. Genre icon Gunnar Hansen — the original Leatherface — lends the film an unmistakable cult pedigree.
