Review of The Mothman Prophecies (2002) by Amurabim. — 19 May 2006
Despite its visuals, director Pellington (Arlington Road) has a big flaw in this film. He tries to make a psychological thriller and the studio sells the movie as a horror film, so ¿what´s the genre of this?.
As a horror film is just adequate, creating a supernatural atmosphere that is right and appropriate. As a psichological thriller, the film loses vibe `cause the characters looks too weird. Pellington´s love for symmetry (check all the scenes with a symmetric kind of view) and style, confuses the story and makes the film a little bit oversaturated (too much filters, camera moves and weird camera angles).
The Mothman Prophecies loses impact for its accent in to be diferent from the usual films of the genre.
