Mothman Prophecies, The

USA 2002, 119 minutes
Dir. Mark Pellington
Rating: [M]
Genres: Suspense/Crime / Paranorma

Feat. Richard Gere, Laura Linney, Will Patton, Alan Bates

Aroview: Drawing on an actual event and mythical explanation, this eerie tale concerns widower reporter Richard Gere, who becomes embroiled in the hunt for a mysterious, moth-like entity, apparently responsible for deaths and generally ‘loco’ behaviour of the small-town residents.

Conjures an air of sweaty paranoia close in spirit to “The X-Files”, though dir. Pellington (“Arlington Road”) overkills the material with visual trickery while letting the “truth” of the story get away on him.

I find this review offensive! I don’t agree with this review. I agree with this review.
2 stars (Good Try) There is a very good supporting cast in Linney, Patton and Bates which helps the routine screenplay. The "Search for Mothman" featurette is worth a watch. ~Tubbs
