Schlocky, schlocky sci-fi/horror, circa 1976. And it stars Marjoe Gortner. Say more?

When it comes to making bad giant-animals-attack movies, nobody touches Bert.

Not content with having made a mess of this earlier, Gordon tries again.

Mosquitos that can puncture a man's entire head. How can you go wrong with that, I ask you.
