Fuck yeah, a long-bladed chainsaw is the only thing that really takes care of mosquitoes!

Wielded by none other than Gunnar Hansen, the original Leatherface. This movie truly had everything.

Hey, good eye! 🪚

Probably the only thing more effective against giant, mutated mosquitoes is a bazooka..

A fun creature feature with excellent practical effects..

That's quite an allergic reaction!

*It isn't actually an allergic reaction, he's being sucked dry 🦟

Death by snusnu?

Reminds me of of old Finnish meme that probably is hard to get unless you are familiar with the concept of diminutive suffixes:

The existence of hyttynen (mosquito) implies the existence of a larger, greater HYTTY

(And the rest is creepy images of giant mosquitoes, you know, to cheer up people enjoying our brief summers)

[–] LaurenceWolse@feddit.nl 3 points 1 year ago

Haha! That's actually clever and funny! :D

You know, I never expected to learn anything about Finnish diminutive suffixes when I posted this movie, yet here we are! Kiitos paljon, friend! 🇫🇮

This works for Spanish too. Mosquito, Moscote

I knew a guy who use to use this as his date night video.

[–] LaurenceWolse@feddit.nl 4 points 1 year ago

I mean, it's the perfect date night movie, as far as I am concerned!

[–] CitizenKong@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Oooh, that looks like fun! Reminds me of Ticks, one of my all time B movie delights.

[–] mipadaitu@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Looks like Clint Howard isn't in this one though, so I'm skeptical that it'll be able to reach the same level of greatness.

[–] LaurenceWolse@feddit.nl 3 points 1 year ago

I thought Mosquito starred Carlton from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, but that's actually Ticks.. ;)

[–] wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes I will watch this movie

[–] LaurenceWolse@feddit.nl 2 points 1 year ago

Woohoo!! Have fun watching! :)

Ron Asheton from The Stooges is in this as well as Frostbiter: Wrath of the Wendigo which is way better than it has any business being.

[–] LaurenceWolse@feddit.nl 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh! I've heard of Frostbiter, but I haven't seen it yet. I'm intrigued though. Definitely gonna check it out soon. Thanks! :)

[–] sangriaferret@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

It's loads of fun. An obvious Evil Dead 2 homage with tons of silly gore, cheap stop motion and two different songs about chili.

[–] fleabomber@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Okay so there's no way that their shirts would burn for any significant amount of time. It's bad but it's good. Thanks for the goody.

[–] LaurenceWolse@feddit.nl 2 points 1 year ago

I'm glad that you had a good time with it! :)

[–] fleabomber@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Woo! +1 for legit explosion.

I saw "Gary Jones" and for a second though "wait, Walter? 'Chevron 7 Locked' Gary Jones?"

Lol no.

But I'm definitely adding this to the B movie week I have planned.
