Joel H @786Joel 14 hrs ago Perhaps it’s because I was familiar with and intrigued by stories about the Mothman long before this movie was released, but The Mothman Prophecies made a big impression on me when I saw it in theaters. And it’s probably because that initial impression and the chills I got during certain scenes that, despite the slow pacing and lack of resolution, I still really like this movie. I’m actually surprised that it bombed at the box office and wasn’t well received by critics. Even with the strong early-2000s vibe it gives, I still believe The Mothman Prophecies is an effective psychological thriller.

I love the camera work, especially how it feels like we're seeing things from the Mothman's POV. The opening car scene, with the camera flying behind the car before settling in the trees, is a great example. The acting is solid, and I was invested early on. I find it hard to believe this actually happened. The film may be inspired by Mothman sightings, but the story feels far fetched. Still, it's fun. My biggest issue is that the story gets thin and the middle drags. I wanted more Mothman lore, sightings, and scares. Instead, it's a slow burn psychological thriller that feels like an episode of The X Files. It also gives me a similar vibe to The Butterfly Effect. It's not a bad movie, but the writing could be stronger. It starts off intriguing, then slows down when I wanted more Mothman!

Richard Gere brings weight to a story built on grief, obsession, and the fear of what cannot be explained. The haunting cinematography makes every road, shadow, and empty room feel wrong. The writing keeps its answers buried beneath the mystery. You watch the darkness close in, and the worst part is knowing it may already be too late.

Much better than I remember. I'm a fan of twilight zone type sci fi and this one doesn't disappoint. Found myself completely mesmerized by how it was filmed. The scene editing was fantastic in bringing out the suspense and emotions of the scene. Really enjoyed this one. See more Read all reviews
