Review of The Mothman Prophecies (2002) by Roger Ebert for Chicago Sun-Times — 27 Sep 2003
The Mothman is singularly ineffective as a threat because it is only vaguely glimpsed, has no nature we can understand, doesn't operate under rules that the story can focus on, and seems to be involved in space-time shifts far beyond its presumed focus.
There is also the problem that insects make unsatisfactory villains unless they are very big.
