Summary: The Mothman Lives...
Review: The Mothman Prophecies is an excellent movie, based on a true story or not! I think it being based on true events is even more suspenseful because our mindspan knows that things like this "can't" happen, but after seeing this movie, every little nose you hear, you look at where it came from!If you haven't seen the Mothman, you should, buy it now on DVD! "Wake up number 37!" Special Note: Read the book before watching the movie, the book is better!

Summary: A great horror/suspense film!
Review: "The Mothman Prophecies", based on a bestselling book of the same name, is a superb "thriller" with good acting, a moody and eerie atmosphere, and an excellent musical score. John Klein (Richard Gere) is a political reporter from Washington who's grieving over his wife's (Debra Messing) strange death after seeing a mysterious and frightening creature while driving home one evening. One night he's traveling to Virginia to do a story when he suddenly finds himself in a small town in West Virginia, hundreds of miles from his destination - and he has no idea of how he got there. Finding out how - and why - he wound up in Point Pleasant is one of the best and creepiest movie experiences from 2002. Laura Linney, Will Patton, and Alan Bates turn in strong supporting performances. Recommended!

Summary: GREAT SPIRIT WORLD CHILLER!
Review: This movies rocks with suspense and has great Actors. In my opinion, I would put this in the Suspense Thriller section. But not horror. Although it is scary at some parts. Richard Gere plays John Klein. Debra Messing is his wife. And Laura Linney is the Police officer. It is rated PG13 for Terror, A tiny bit of Sexuality, and some language. I would not let children under 12 see it. This might scare them a lot. If you liked this film, I reccomend, What Lies Beneath. So strap yourself in for a Scare a Minute ride with non stop suspense. ENJOY

Summary: Where's Mulder and Scully?
Review: "The Mothman Prophecies" is an unusual horror/thriller that - except for a brief glimpse in the beginning -never does get around to showing the monster. Instead, the tension is built through inhuman-sounding phonecalls, 3rd person accounts and quick edit glimpes (both creepy visuals and eerie, electrical-sounding 'voices')presumably from the Mothman's persepective. The bulk of moving the story forward is left to Richard Gere and Laura Linney. Both actors do a solid job as vehicles for the psychological terror the creature inflicts. I think it was a strength of the film that it did not fall into the usual rut most films like this do. By playing up the psychological aspects and downplaying the monster ones, it has a much more authentic feel to it, pulling in the mystery from the real-life case this movie is based on. The problem this created for me, however, was leaving me with an ending that has no satisfying conclusion. The plot was just not strong enough to send me home happy with complete openendedness. I recommend this as a rental at best. Those with interest in the topic will most likely enjoy it, but its mainstream appeal is limited as it delivers neither as a horror or thriller.

Summary: Mothman Prophecies and Debra Messing: Pure Excellence
Review: Washington Post reporter John Klein (Richard Gere) becomes a grieving widower after he and his wife, Mary (the magnificent Debra Messing) are involved in a car accident. While Mary is driving, she hits the mysterious, urban-like legend "Mothman." In the hospital, when she asks her husband, "You didn't see it, did you?" John replies, "See what?"
A cat-scan reveals Mary has a fatal brain tumor that "has been there awhile." Her journals later reveal drawings of this moth-like being. "She knew." John goes to the site of Pleasant Point, West Virginia where Mothman terrorizes locals. Mothman leaves mysterious messages and clues that Klein and a local police officer, Connie (played by Laura Linney) try to unravel. Mothman is an enigma throughout, not very visible but his presence is haunting and predictions of doom abound. The Mothman Prophecies will get your attention from the start and keep you enthralled for two hours with suspense and intrigue. The only disappointment is having a star like Debra Messing and using her talent for a small portion of the movie. Her role could have been developed much more. Regardless, I purchased the DVD on her star power - worth every penny! Tricia Marrapodi

Summary: Definitely worth watching
Review: A lot better than I anticipated. I expected to see some big bird type creature lurking and traumatizing people at gas stations or something.. Instead, the descriptions and shadows are what defines the "mothman" which is a lot more effective.
The whole wife-haunting thing is the only drawback, in my opinion. I would have thought it much more interesting if he had delved deep into mythology and found some link to the past and used that as a premise for his actions.
I still pre-ordererd the movie and recommended it to friends. If you like basic sci-fi lore, you should see it.

Summary: UNDERMARKETED, INCREDIBLE FLICK
Review: i have never been so scared in my life. i was crying in the theater when i saw this movie...even my rock-solid practical boyfriend was jumpy for days afterward. the fact that it is predicated on real events makes it even more terrifying. this was the most poorly-marketed movie of the year...it should have swept the theaters, it was so well done and superbly interesting and chillingly scary!! i highly recommend it...but be sure to have someone else with you while you watch. and keep your curtains closed tight!!

Summary: God Awful don't waste your time or money
Review: I swa this film when it first came out, I was looking forward to seeing it because I love these kinds of films (Blair Witch project, The Sixth Sence, etc.) but boy was I disaponted. I thought in the beging this is going to pick up any minute they're just setting things up, but they weren't occasionaly something disturbing happened but by the time this film was half why threw I was beging for the credits to roll and free me from this tedious chour of sitting threw this painful slow and uninteresting story the end was not done well it happened far to quickly to justify ny tourture although it struck me more than it would others considering that it actually happened to the rout my father traveled at that time on a weekly basis.

Review: Quite a boring film. Leaves you with a "should have somewhere with such a great premise but didn't" feeling. I'd rent it, but I wouldn't buy it.
