Watch Skeeter For Free

So much average

Expected more

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

This movie has everything. First there is deputy Boone (Jim Youngs) doing a marginal Clint Eastwood imitation. Then, there is a crazed (is there any other kind?) Michael J. Pollard feeding his pet giant mosquito by letting it suck blood from his own arm. Not enough for you? How about Charles Napier playing a lecherous, corrupt sheriff? What's not to like? Besides the numerous eccentric characters, unintentional humor abounds, starting with the mosquito's which look like "Creepy Crawlers" on steroids, and capped by our hero taking time out to weld together a flamethrower while his girlfriend is trapped in a mine with the giant mosquito's. Creative location photography, decent character development, and an interesting soundtrack, can't overcome the obvious. This is not a good movie. - MERK

I'm simply amazed at the low rating of this movie. Sure it's not high fare and has some low-end special effects, but "Skeeter" is a well acted and well paced "Big Bug" flick.First and foremost we have the sexy Tracy Griffith (see her in First Power) as female lead, that is enough for any one to watch. But then we have some of Hollywoods great character actors Charles Napier, Jay Robinson (what a great voice), William Sanderson (remember him as the psycho sniper in the episode called BLOOD of X-files) and lastly Michael J. Pollard.Sure, director Clark Brandon isn't a horror director, and directed more episodes of The Facts of Life than he cares to confess. But I feel he does a good job here. He knows how to direct good actors and bring out their best. I know the special effects aren't that special by today's standards. But I think they are great considering the obscene over use of CGI in the genre today.All in all, SKEETER is a good, well paced and expertly acted Big Bug movie and pays decent homage to the old Big Bug flicks of the 50's. If you have a certain affection for the old Big Bug flicks of the 50's as I do, then check this one out.

When first told that we would be watching "Skeeter" for our nightly movie-fest, my first reaction was "Oh great, Not another lame low budget horror flick that stars some no name actor and some other leading lady with big breasts and well you know how it goes". Sorry not going to happen with this film my friend! Skeeter had me on the edge of my seat. I was horrified to think that this could really happen. Our government is hauling things up and down our highways every day that could easily morph your average mosquito or scorpion into a huge, human devouring beast. I think Skeeter should be used as an example and shown throughout the world, that if we dont start to take care of our environment, were going to have huge skeeters flying about sucking our life force. Bottom line, if you want to be scared to death, watch this movie.

Thank God I didn't pay money to see this movie! It was on cable late one night and I decided to watch. I was crying not because I was scared but because I was laughing so hard! If you ignore the impossible plot line and concentrate on how horrible the special effects and the acting are, it becomes one of the funniest movies. I don't recommend this movie for sci-fi or serious movie fans. If you want a good laugh and can stand cheesy movies, rent this one!
