Bloodlust

Abused clerk with a doll fetish tries to cope with memories of his abusive father develops a weird fascination for drinking the blood from corpses before amping it up toward murder.

Disturbing, but in many ways not very good little horror film that is more than likely going to curl your toes. As with many of these films its the acts that disturb but not the whole package, since our "hero" is too crazy and too much of a milk toast to amount to much. And give it points for a non sensational, realistic ending.

Worth a look only for horror fans.

Pochtath is excellent in this incredible,spooky feature with similarities to the more famous MARTIN (made around the same time).The image of him sucking blood from a corpse with a glass straw is unforgettable.It doesn't matter that some of the FX look hokey and the english dubbed version has awkward dialogue,this is one of a kind and should be required viewing for all horror fans.Incidentally,Pochtath can also be spotted briefly in Dario Argento's THE CAT O' NINE TAILS.

"Mosquito the Rapist" is a gross,creepy and disturbing horror film that truly has to be seen to be believed.This strange necrophilia shocker offers few haunting moments and contains truly eerie mood throughout.Werner Pochath plays a nameless deaf mute accountant,who is still recovering from horrific child abuse.He has a weird fixation with blood spilling across his skin.One night he breaks into the local mortuary and ravages really pretty female corpse.Now addicted,he raids the tombs of the dead and drinks blood from their throats via a glass straw.This seriously twisted and perverse piece of sleazy horror was apparently a major influence on Jorg Buttgereit's "Nekromantik".There is some gore and plenty of sleaze,so fans of exploitation cinema won't be disappointed.Unfortunately this obscure gem is rather hard to find,but if you get a chance watch it.9 out of 10.

"Mosquito" is one of the most original horror films from the seventies. Quite possibly the most disturbing romantic horror film you'll come across from this period.

Loosely based on a real case, this film deals with a traumatized young man (Werner Pochath), who in his childhood became deaf and dumb after having been beaten by his own father. Excluded from close human contact, he seeks company in the local graveyard. Still, he has secret feelings for the girl (Birgit Zamulo) next door, who also seems to live inside her own different world.

With gorgeous photography, an "out of this world" soundtrack by maestro Dafydd Llywelyn, and exceptional acting by Werner Pochath - this is a film to remember. Still, we need a better commercial release of it, than what's out on the market (the German DVD was OK, but could have been a lot better, and it's out of print anyway).

Poor old Mosquito (Werner Pochath) should sue for defamation of character: he might have a weird fetish for dolls, drink the blood of dead women through a glass straw, gouge out their eyeballs, hack off their heads, and eventually become a fully fledged psycho killer, but he's definitely not a rapist. Such malicious slander could seriously ruin a person's reputation!

An obscure horror offering from, of all places, Switzerland, director Marijan David Vajda's Mosquito the Rapist has garnered generally positive reviews here on IMDb for being a bold, surreal and lurid piece of sleaze that isn't afraid to push the boundaries of taste; while I cannot deny that the film is both groundbreaking and extremely exploitative, I just didn't enjoy it that much myself, finding it incredibly dreary for the most part despite all the nastiness. Even with a bit of gratuitous lesbian action from a couple of hookers thrown in for good measure, the slow as molasses pace throughout had me struggling to keep my eyes open (the only exception being the kiddie fiddling scene, which is a real eye-opener and genuinely unsettling—considering the tender age of the girl involved, I'm surprised this shocking moment has been allowed to remain intact!
