Mosquitoman (2005)

aka Mansquito

How bad is it? It's a SyFy original, which means it's pretty bad.
Should you see it? Yes, but don't pay to see it.

This is one of the first films that the television network SyFy made, rather than bought. Bulgaria substitutes for Baltimore. The plot has a convict causing the release of a toxin that turns two people into half-person/half-mosquito. Rather than straight horror, however, it plays like a detective story, which is an interesting change from the usual splatter films. The effects are crude, but pretty good for the budget, so what sinks this is the acting and direction. The soundtrack is surprisingly good, but it's not good that I noticed it. I've debated whether to include SyFy films, as they've made hundreds of bad films, but a few like this are interesting (and there's Sharknado to come here soon enough).
