Review of The Mothman Prophecies (2002) by Lewis C — 08 Oct 2009

I'm not too sure about how authentic these "true events" actually are, but The Mothman Prophecies manages to be moderately interesting. At least it got Richard Gere out of rom-com territory and introduced me to the milf-tastic Laura Linney.

Once I accepted the fact that the movie wasn't going to be scary in any way, I could focus on the unraveling mystery of what the hell was going on with the weird events and sightings going on in the small town of Point Pleasant. I can't say that everything was explained to my satisfaction, but the impressive sequence at the end of the movie made it worth the time for me. If you can adjust to the fact that this is not a horror movie, then maybe it will be worth the time for you, too.
