Boring

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Arriving in a small town, a group of friends finds themselves at the center of a series of grisly accidents perpetrated by a legendary creature when one of them returns home after they left when the group accidentally killed a friend years ago and must try to stop it.Overall this was a pretty good Sci-Fi Channel creature feature with a few rather decent points about it. When this one's on, it makes for quite an enjoyable time here starting with the opening prank against their friend which is quite a bit of more brutal than expected. This is nicely setup here as the fantastic reasoning for the creature's rampage, the novel idea of the creature itself tied in here with the backstory flashback sequence and the overall look of the being all making this out to be a pretty enjoyable creature. Even though there's good fun with it's connection to the real creature, this one really gets better in the second half due to the high number of attacks where it's a little more watchable with some great attacks. The panic in the bar is a lot of fun with the demonic eyes, the gunshots and finally the confrontation which gets really fun as well as the follow-up car attack in the other victim, the attack on the trailer where they come to believe it's existence and the ceremonial attempt gets halted by the creature leaving it with a series of tense, exciting confrontations in such a creepy location that lets the action come off really well. As well, the extremely fun finale at the carnival manages to make this one a better entry for it getting in a lot of great features from the attack on the ferris wheel leading plenty of chaos and panic during the celebration, plenty of shootouts with the police-force and finally ending the creature's rampage in a fine, exciting way. While these here make it exciting, there's a couple of other small flaws hurt this one. The biggest problem here is also one of the film's best features in that, because it's based on a real creature of folklore, this one gets everything about this totally wrong. Just about everything about the creature is wrong here, mainly the execution of this as a normal supernatural creature instead of the real beast it's based on. That as well gives this the usual abysmal CGI here for the creature where it looks fake and obvious for a large portion of its appearance, and despite the good work here in its reasoning and backstory almost everything else here lowers this one. The other flaw here is the rather overlong first half to this one here, from the setup of their secret to the incredibly long and over-drawn first meeting together that doesn't really offer much for the story going as long as it is since this goes about repeating scenes to prove it's point. This could've been tightened up considerably and still gotten the point across. These here are the weak points within this one.Rated Unrated/R: Graphic Violence and Language.

Jewel Staite gives one of her finest performances in this exciting horror film from visionary director Sheldon Wilson. With an intelligent and insightful script by gifted screenwriters Sonny Lee and Patrick Walsh, Mothman brings a fresh and creative energy to the notorious legend. Amazing special effects highlight the film and Wilson uses the skillful depiction of the red-eyed creature spectacularly. The dialog is smart and clever and the characterizations have depth and humanity. It is refreshing in a horror film to see people behaving like human beings rather than cardboard cutouts simply running for their lives and screaming. Overall, this is an extraordinary motion picture of unusual power that succeeds beautifully as a horror film and brilliantly as a study of individual courage in crisis.

Swimming in a West Virginia river, six mature-looking teenagers tease (Jared's) younger brother Alex Hardee (as Jamie). They tell him the scary story of the legendary "Mothman" monster. During a strange water game, the cast pulls each other's legs down in the water. Somebody suffers a mishap and the swimmers, led by Jewel Staite (as Katharine Grant), decide to make the death seem like an accident. It already was an accident, and their repeated head-bashing only makes it look worse. However, nobody seems to notice. The kid's not dead, either; you can see him breathing. Maybe that's why the resuscitation attempt was so half-hearted...Ten years later, Ms. Staite returns to town. A Washington DC reporter, she has been assigned to write a story on the legendary "Mothman" monster of Point Pleasant...Staite meets the old gang after almost killing one of them in another accident. Quickly, supernatural stuff begins to happen. Probably, the monster is out to punish the cast for making an accidental drowning look like an accident. There is also a parallel incident involving blind resident Jerry Leggio (as Frank Waverly). The leading man is Connor Fox (as Derek Carpenter). The cast is attractive and the special effects are serviceable. Director Sheldon Wilson uses the red eye symbolism well and keeps the cameras steady. Unfortunately, as we get more of the Mothman and the murders, it looks sillier. The story never really makes any sense.*** Mothman (4/24/10) ~ Sheldon Wilson ~ Jewel Staite, Connor Fox, Matty Ferraro, Jerry Leggio

Where do I even begin, I should have wrote down all of my complaints, now I have to remember all of them. Netflix is the king of crappy horror films, you can watch them all and not have to pay for their suck-age. This film is awful, it's TV movie bad, oh wait.So it starts off with some dumb-ass kids doing what they do best. The guys are douche-bags and the women are.... just there. So then the "dudes" start bullying some guys brother and eventually kill him. This is where the similarities with other horror films come into play. The "dude" leader makes a plan to get their worthless redneck lives out of hot water. Lets make it an accident, so lets all cave the dead brothers head in, yeah that will look like an accident. And the funny part is, the dead guys older brother just goes along with it, wow I wish he was my brother, get piccolo. The girl with the weird eyes from firefly is now our main character.What follows is an atrocious waste of an hour and 20 minutes. The plot is inconsistent, the characters can't act. The cgi moth-man looks like crap. It lacks any suspense or mystery, or even scares. I could easily remake this into a much better film, because I or any true horror fan knows what to do and how to do it. There are plenty of stupid things that don't make sense. Like how did that guy with the shotgun survive when we can clearly hear him being ripped apart. Or how the hell did Katherine and that guy get out of the cage, they could just lift it up, so stupid. And why did the moth-man attack some random lady on the Farris wheel, I thought he only killed murderers. Technically the moth-man is the hero, he delivers justice when no one else cared to.Anyway, this film sucked. Even if you like bad movies, I don't recommend it.
