I avoided THE MOTHMAN PROPHECIES for years due to my aversion to anything involving Richard Gere. I finally watched it after a trustworthy friend told me how good it was. from Amazon.com It took me years to see The Mothman Prophecies. I was in the midst of a switch from VCR tapes to DVD player and The Mothman Prophecies was an unfortunate victim of the transition, a tape with no player for it. from Amazon.com The Bottom Line: A mediocre thriller, The Mothman Prophecies suceeds in generating a sense of creepiness but somewhat requires a belief in the supernatural for it to work--it's not bad but it's also not worth seeking out. from Amazon.com This is a film too bad to be good & too good to be so bad it's good. DULL is the watchword, unless watching Richard Gere's Shatnerian reactions to a phone ringing is your idea of edge-of-the-seat horror. That Mothman never makes an appearance would be fine if the film gave us something else, or kept a mystery worth keeping- but nada. & this is perhaps the only `action' film I can recall where a gratuitous love story would have improved the tale. from Amazon.com Richard Gere and Laura Linney play the lead roles superbly; the rest of the cast certainly make the film BELIEVABLE. The film moves along at a comfortable pace: Despite the bizarre nature of the story, one will not be left behind in confusion as the movie unfolds. (It might be best to say: "Let the movie come to you.") As many have written before in each person's review of MOTHMAN, it is indeed unlike any film one may have seen. What's more, it has been reported that a "mothman" like entity appeared in the Minneapolis area prior to the tragic bridge collapse within the last two years. from Amazon.com A pretty decent one at that. Supposedly based off some factual event, the film does a good job of keeping us in suspense and really keeps us guessing. If there really is something called the Mothman, then I really would not want anything to do with that. The acting is quite fine, the score effective. from Amazon.com This movie seems like a purposeful mangling of the Mothman story. The book is fascinating and would have made an excellent movie. from Amazon.com THE MOTHMAN PROPHECIES was an outstanding five star horror film starring Richard Gere, Laura Linney, and Debra Messing. This film was directed by Mark Pellington, edited by Brian Berdan and filmed under the direction of Fred Murphy. from Amazon.com Richard Gere is excellent and Laura Linney is even better in this otherwise forgettable film about an allegedly real (?) or not (?) supernatural creature, the Mothman, who appeared in a West Virginia town, Point Pleasant and predicted, among other things, the sinking of a bridge over the Ohio River in 1967. I knew nothing about the actual event, nor the folklore surrounding the Mothman when I picked up this DVD. from Amazon.com Having read the book, which is fine in and of itself, I'm glad that the movie was so much better and not a straight adaptation. If you wish to order and read the book after seeing the movie, go right ahead, but expect a few very dry, and yawning bedtime reads that might bore you. The Special Edition of this film is the one to get. I already owned the Original Theatrical Release, but re-purchased it because I had to see the two documentaries that were included on disk two. from Amazon.com
