Skeeter: a classic 90's monster-movie or just trash?
With lines like "You people have a problem here in Clear Sky with your cattle, I'm here to tell you whether it's environmental" it does carry some cheapo charm, but no "good bad movie" should be as boring as Skeeter is, in my very personal opinion.
Here's a plot summary courtesy of Bad Movies site:
Sit down please, the reports of giant mosquitos are far overblown. There aren't that many of them actually, maybe two dozen or so. Our main problem is they like to bite you right in the small of the back. Stop, drop, and roll you say? This is a b-movie, not a fire drill!
Sorry, had to get that off my chest before describing the plot. Drake is building housing developments (In the middle of a desert?) and dumping the dangerous waste into a mine, there it seeps into the water supply. With the county sheriff in his pocket he is only worried about Boone and Gordon blowing the whistle. Wait, EVERY cow in a hundred miles falls over dead and nobody wigs out? Boone is more concerned about Sarah being back in town than the dying livestock. You have to carefully consider a woman, who has good teeth, when the population is forty or so.
Boone and Tucker have a shootout with Drake's goons, rescue Sarah from the mine full of mosquitos (How did the kid's corpse get in that hole anyway?), and blow the breeding pool to smithereens. I'm not going to pull any punches my friends, this film is fairly bad, but not without redeeming qualities. The mosquites were well done, I wish we had a better look at them.
If I may add one comment here: no, the mosquites were not well done; VERY badly, in actuality.

So, eh, who saw this thing?
