Anyway, we noticed that a meteor had crashed somewhere in the wilderness in Northern Michigan. Sure enough, an entomologist (insect studier) is driving down the road when she hits a giant mosquito with her car. But she thinks it's a dog so she keeps going (K!!!!). Anyway, some criminals stumble on the scene. We knew they were criminals because they were wearing commando outfits and black hats.
As people start getting devoured, the characters start figuring out what's happening. We watch a drunken fisherman hook a giant growling northern pike only to hear the buzz and get impaled by a giant moe. Soon afterward, the moes are in formation chasing a motorhome down the road.
Then we meet a character who's another scientist.
'I'm a meteorologist.' He says.
Another character says: 'Oh, you predict the weather?'
He responds 'No, I'm a real meteorologist. I chase meteors.'
You gotta know we were laughing at that exchange. After happening upon a devoured campground with a crook hiding underneath an upside-down rowboat, they figure it out. Then they start to fight by saying blast 'em every time they a moe. The criminals eventually meet up with the scientists and wackiness ensues. So, then they all end up at the house where the giant moes are nesting. They try and blow it up, but one guy gets trapped inside. Of course he survives, because he hid in the fridge and stayed there overnight (AND LIVED - K!!!). Good lines:
"I'm kinda thinkin' that getting outta here alive is kinda like asking for ice water in hell."
"You mean you actually imagined yourself in a situation like this - giant mosquitoes and all?"

Now, to the ratings
- They space out the mulchings evenly enough, and there's plenty of 'em to keep you laughing.
- Well, one liners were good some of the time.
- The moes were obviously plastic and hilarious, and some of the plot ideas were downright insane.
- Well, mutated moes are nothing new, but some of the death scenes were pretty interesting!
If you're going to rent a movie about mutant mosquitoes, make it this one.
